Kent police are searching a river for a missing woman they believe may have been murdered.
Sarah Wellgreen was last seen in the Bazes Shaw area of New Ash Green and was reported missing on 11 October. She has not been in touch with her family since.
Kent police said marine search unit officers were looking through the River Darent in Dartford town centre in connection with the disappearance and potential murder of Wellgreen.
She is described as being white, about 5ft 7in tall, of medium build, with green eyes and straight, brown, shoulder-length hair. On Friday, officers searched drains and used a drone to assist with their enquiries around Dartford.
DI Chris Greenstreet said: “Our officers are continuing to carry out searches, which include Dartford town centre and areas near Fawkham, in connection with the disappearance and potential murder of New Ash Green mother-of-five Sarah Wellgreen.”
Earlier in the week, police appealed to the public for video footage from the night Wellgreen went missing.
“We are particularly interested to hear from anyone with fixed CCTV cameras within a five-mile radius of New Ash Green, whether this is residential or commercial CCTV, to come forward,” said Det Supt Paul Fotheringham.
“Likewise, anyone who was out on the evening of 9 October to the morning of 10 October in that five-mile area who has dashcam in their vehicle, please contact us.”
A man in his 30s was arrested on 16 October and was released on bail pending further enquiries until 16 November.
