Officers hunting for a missing North Yorkshire woman have said they are still fully committed to finding her, one month on from her disappearance.

Jenny Nicholl, 19, left her parents' home in Richmond, North Yorkshire, on 30 June and has not been seen since.

Officers have been searching woodland, rural areas, pubs and clubs as well as making appeals at music events across the UK in the hope of tracing her.

Det Insp Pete Martin said they still hoped to find Ms Nicholl safe and well.

Ms Nicholl's parents remain desperately worried because her disappearance is totally out of character, police have said.

Her car was found outside the Holly Hill pub on the outskirts of the town on 4 July, a few days after she was last seen.

In addition to pubs she was known to frequent, police have been visiting the Holly Hill, Sandbeck and Brokes areas of Richmond to find out why Ms Nicholl often visited these areas.

As well as music, Ms Nicholl is known to love the countryside and police have been searching open areas in and around the town.

Mr Martin said: "Jenny's disappearance is so out of character that we are taking this very seriously indeed.

"A month on, we remain fully committed to finding her safe and well and successfully ending this difficult investigation."

Officers particularly want to speak to anyone who may have been in touch with Ms Nicholl since 30 June, Mr Martin added.
