A search for a missing mother and her newborn child has entered its sixth day, with every hotel in one city being checked. Police are concerned that Constance Marten, 35, has the financial resources to survive indefinitely as she is from a wealthy, landowning family.
Constance, and her partner Mark Gordon, disappeared after the car they were travelling in broke down on the M61 near Bolton, Greater Manchester, on Thursday evening, before leaving on foot with their baby boy.
The family were last seen in Colchester, with Essex Police stating that they now have a number of confirmed sightings in the city, MyLondon reports. Yesterday, officers worked through the night to visit every single hotel and bed and breakfast in Colchester to establish whether the couple and their baby had recently stayed. The search is continuing today (Wednesday, January 11) and leaflets are being handed out to help members of the public identify Constance and Mark.
