North Yorkshire Police say she is believed to have walked along the Cleveland Way path between Scarborough and Filey.

Officers searched the area extensively, including Reighton and Filey to no avail.

Sarah is five foot five, of very slim build with dark blonde-brown hair and maybe wearing glasses.

Police released a CCTV image of her wearing jeans, a light coloured blouse and brown flat boots, possibly carrying a red bag, which they believe she was wearing on the day of her disappearance.
