Police issue update on missing aristocrat Constance Marten

A missing aristocrat who fled a burning car near Bolton with her partner and newborn baby is now believed to have been camping in the Sussex countryside. A reward of up to £10,000 is being offered for information that can help officers find Constance Marten, convicted sex offender Mark Gordon, and their child.

It's now one month to the day since officers were called out to a car fire on the M61 motorway near junction four, at Farnworth, on January 5. They are now believed to have been camping in freezing winter conditions for weeks, around 300 miles from where they abandoned the car in Greater Manchester.

In a direct appeal to the family today (February 5), Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford of the Metropolitan Police said: "Constance and Mark, your baby has spent the first month of its short life exposed to the elements when it should be safe and warm and, most importantly, seen by medics. After a month you must be running low on cash.
