Posting on Facebook, Mr James said: "It is vital that people vite CCTV and dashcam footage within 10 miles of New Ash Green from October 9, at 6pm, to October 10, at 8am, to the dedicated website, if you haven't done so already."

Miss Wellgreen's partner then asked people to continue their support for the police and the Searching for Sarah Wellgreen page that has been set up to help find the beautician.

Mr James added: "Again please continue to support Kent Police and the Searching for Sarah Wellgreen Facebook page as we want our Sarah - mum of five, daughter, family, friend and fiancée home."
