Officers are "keen" to understand where she may have travelled to after this time.

A force statement said: "We have deployed numerous resources in our work to find Christine, including specialist search teams, off-road bike teams, mounted officers, drones, and specialist search dogs, and have had support from a National Police Air Service helicopter utilising thermal imaging technology. 

"Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we are yet to locate Christine, and the search continues this week with our specialist teams.

"Enquiries are ongoing all day every day, with officers carrying out CCTV trawls and house to house calls."

Cops are appealing for residents around Cantley Lane to check their home CCTV from the evening of August 12.

They are also asking drivers who were in the area to check their dashcam, as this footage may show where she went after 5.57pm.

Christine is described as a white woman, around 5ft 5ins tall with long grey hair.

At the time of her disappearance, she was last seen wearing a black vest top with a floral pattern and orange shorts.

Police had previously said they were "particularly interested" in footage between 5.45pm to 8pm on August 12 that could show which direction she may have travelled.

Christine's daughter, Lisa Jones, had earlier posted about her mum's disappearance on Facebook.

She wrote: "These are the only confirmed sightings and verified timelines.

"This is why it’s paramount that we get residents of Cantley to check any footage on CCTV, ring doorbells etc to see which way she headed after this.
