Police will use specialist equipment this weekend as they continue to search for missing Malton mum Victoria Taylor.
Their efforts remain focused on the Derwent, after officers said this week that “we must accept the significant possibility that Victoria has entered the river”.
She was captured on CCTV on Monday 30 September, the day she disappeared, close to the water, and her belongings were also found nearby.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Officers from the underwater search team will continue to use specialist equipment this weekend as they tactically scour the murky river water.
“On land, our operational support unit will search areas close to the river for further clues which may lead us to finding Victoria.”
Officers will also follow up sightings, review more CCTV and speak to witnesses.
Head of local policing Chief Superintendent Fiona Willey said: “We will continue to make every effort to find Victoria and a have a dedicated team that are working solely on this missing person search.
“As every day goes on it brings further heartache for Victoria’s family and we will continue to work closely with them.
“The support which the community of Malton and Norton have shown is uplifting and has helped provide some form of comfort to those who are close to Victoria at this difficult time.
“I would reiterate our previous appeals for information. Any relevant information, no matter how insignificant it might be, may help our enquiries. If you can help, please speak with an officer, or contact us on 101.”
