A man has been charged with the murder of Katie Kenyon, who was last seen getting into a van with a man five days ago in Lancashire.
The 33-year-old, from Padiham, was last spotted on Friday morning getting into a silver Ford Transit van in Todmorden Road, Burnley.
Andrew Burfield, 50, of Todmorden Road, Burnley, is due to appear at Blackburn magistrates court on Thursday. Burfield was arrested for murder on Tuesday.
More than 60 specialist search officers from four police forces began scouring a rural beauty spot in Lancashire on Tuesday as part of their investigation.
The area of interest is the largest wooded area in the county, measuring more than 4.6 square miles, and is popular with walkers and cyclists.
Lancashire police said: “Katie’s family have been made aware and continue to be supported by specially trained officers.
“They pass on their thanks for all the well-wishing messages but have asked people to respect their privacy at this time.”
