Police divers have recovered a body from a river in the search for a missing 57-year-old woman. Kim Baker, of Edwinstowe, had last been seen by family members on August 12, and she was reported missing five days later.
The 57-year-old’s disappearance led to officers carrying out extensive searches in and around the Edwinstowe area. On Saturday, August 27 specialist police divers from Nottinghamshire Police recovered a body from a section of the River Maun.
The river runs from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, east through Mansfield and towards the River Meden. Detective Inspector Luke Todd, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "At this stage, although we are not in a position to formally confirm the woman's identity, we do believe the body is that of Kim.
