Police have said they 'do not wish to interrupt the family life' of a missing couple and their newborn baby as a search to find them continues.
Officers are trying to track down Constance Marten, who is said to have given birth 'very recently', and the baby's father Mark Gordon. The pair were spotted at around 6.30pm last Thursday (January 5) after their car broke down near junction four of the M61 at Farnworth in Bolton.
Police said the family safely left the motorway on foot - then walked to the Anchor Lane bridge which links the Highfield and Little Hulton areas. Since then, a number of sightings have been reported in north Essex.
