Joanne hunt switches to new sites

Joanne Nelson has now been missing for more than two weeks

Police searching for the body of missing Hull woman Joanne Nelson have switched their efforts to two villages near the Humber.

About 25 officers split into five search teams are scouring land around Brantingham and Elloughton, which lie on either side of the A63 west of Hull.

Police are also continuing to follow up leads from the public.

Miss Nelson, 22, went missing on Valentine's Day. Her fiance Paul Dyson, 30, has been charged with her murder.

'No success'

An underwater search unit and a special search team from the Trossachs in Scotland are also involved in the hunt.

So far about 80% of the search has been conducted in East Yorkshire with teams also ranging across North Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

Humberside Police say the search will continue in different areas for at least two weeks.

On Monday, the teams covered sites around Hornsea and Bishop Burton where access has previously been difficult due to bad weather. "Sadly, we had no success on Monday," said a Humberside Police spokesman.

Detectives are still asking landowners, farmers and walkers to contact them if they know of a site featuring a tubular steel farm gate.

Police have information that there were a number of green bottles close to the right-hand-side of the gate.

Behind the gate is a short track before a copse of trees. The gate will be set back enough for a car to drive up to it and be off a surfaced road.
