During the intervening period extensive searches and inquiries have been carried out to try to trace her, many in surrounding areas to where she was last seen, in the hamlet of Battersby, on the edge of the North York Moors.

A statement issued by the North Yorkshire force said: “We urge anyone who believes they have seen Annie to contact us with information.

“This can be done by calling 101 or 999 if you know her immediate whereabouts.
