A friend of an "awesome and kind" mum who went missing 15 days ago with her newborn child and sex offender partner has urged her to make contact. Constance Marten and Mark Gordon abandoned their burning car on the hard shoulder after it broke down on January 5th, near junction 4 of the M61, at Farnworth, Bolton.
With the couple is their baby boy who it is believed was born very recently. Constance is from a land-owning family with links to the Royal Family and is thought to have access to substantial resources.
The family have no luggage as most of their belongings were destroyed in the fire. After leaving the vehicle, which they had bought six days earlier, they walked to Anchor Bridge, which links Little Hulton, and Highfield.
