Update on Missing Malton Woman

Saturday, 12 October 2024 00:36

Police say they will continue with searches over the weekend to find missing Victoria Taylor.

Victoria, who is 34-years-old, was last seen at her home address at 9am on Monday 30 September.

Police say their approach is to carry out thorough and systematic searches of the area where Victoria was last seen and from where they recovered her belongings with a focus on the River Derwent.

Officers from the Underwater Search Team will continue to use specialist equipment this weekend as they tactically scour the murky river water. On land, the Operational Support Unit will search areas close to the river for further clues which may lead to finding Victoria.

In addition to the visible searches, a team of officers will continue to follow up on sightings, review CCTV and speak to key witnesses.

North Yorkshire Police's Head of Local Policing, Chief Superintendent Fiona Willey said:

“We will continue to make every effort to find Victoria and 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.”
