Missing aristocrat Constance Marten may have given birth in the back of a car found burnt out in Greater Manchester, the Manchester Evening News understands.
The mum - who is from a wealthy land-owning family with links to the Royal Family - disappeared with her newborn baby boy and sex offender partner Mark Gordon on January 5. The pair abandoned their burning car on the hard shoulder after it broke down near junction 4 of the M61, at Farnworth in Bolton.
M.E.N. sources connected to the investigation say placenta was found in the back seat of the couple's charred vehicle by fire crews. Police reportedly believe the baby was born in the car one or two days before the family went missing.
