Rescue teams broaden search for 23 year old Jenny Hall, focusing on Hamsterley Forest using drones and dogs.
Her car, a red Ford Focus, turned up. They found it Wednesday parked on the B6278 by moorland, near Eggleston and Stanhope.
The search centers on Hamsterley Forest now. It also includes the surrounding area, which has lots of running trails. Duddon & Furness MRT joined Saturday as part of the ongoing search operation in County Durham.
Mobile 3 acted as a control vehicle there. Lake District’s drone teams used it, as it has special software for searching. Multiple rescue teams assisted in this extensive search.
Teams from Penrith, Wasdale, Cockermouth and Patterdale joined as well. On Saturday, the search was huge, with seven drones flying over the area and ten dogs helping sniff around. Over 60 rescue volunteers searched hard but sadly, they found nothing then.
The search restarted Sunday. Police are worried about Jenny, according to Chief Inspector Haythornthwaite, as she was reported missing on Tuesday. They are checking all possible leads.
Jenny is white and six feet tall. She has dark brown hair, which might have been in a ponytail. She wore a blue John Deere hoodie and dark jogging bottoms, and she maybe carried a green jacket.
Police thank everyone for their support but ask people to not join the search. Extra people might disturb the dogs and distract the expert searchers.
If you know anything, call 999 now; any information could really help. Hope they find Jenny really soon, it is concerning.
