Teams continue searching Hamsterley Forest for Jenny Hall, missing since Tuesday. Police urge public to avoid the area.
Durham police use expert teams and drones. They search for Jenny with special equipment now. The forest stays open, but people should not search, as it hinders police. Dogs may also get distracted by others.
A police chief spoke from Hamsterley Forest, thanking people for providing tips already. He asks families to give officers space today, letting police search without disruption. He urges people to call 999 if they have information.
Jenny left her home Tuesday around 3 PM; her home is in Barracks Farm. She is 23 years old, white, and six feet tall, with long, dark hair. She might have it in a ponytail.
Her red Ford Focus was found Thursday near Eggleston and Stanhope on the B6278 road. Searches focus on running trails, as Jenny often used trails between Eggleston and Hamsterley.
Teams covered over 100 miles in Teesdale. Sniffer dogs are searching Jenny’s last known area. Durham police ask people with tips to call 999.
