Police directly appealing to a missing couple told them "you wouldn’t be able to forgive yourself" if their newborn baby became sick.
Constance Marten, 35, Mark Gordon, 48, and their newborn were travelling on the motorway when their car broke down near junction four (Farnworth, Bolton) of the M61 on Thursday, 5 January. Officers attended the scene but no one was found in the car, and so a missing persons investigation was launched by Greater Manchester Police.
The family left the vehicle and the motorway safely – walking to the Anchor Lane bridge which links the Highfield and Little Hulton areas. Police believe Constance, Mark and their baby travelled to Liverpool and then to Harwich.
