Searches for missing Starbeck woman Sophie Lambert are continuing this evening, as her disappearance goes into a fifth night.

There has been no update from North Yorkshire Police since yesterday, but officers are still out around Nidd Gorge.

The area has been the focus for the search since the weekend, conducted by North Yorkshire Police officers alongside mountain and underwater rescue crews.

Members of the public are also covering as much ground as possible to try to find the 22-year-old.

Sophie's family has also asked the community to get involved in the search and has invited people to meet at Conyngham Hall car park at 6pm today. From there, people will go out in groups to continue searching into the evening.

Those helping with the efforts have been posting the routes they have taken in a Facebook group dedicated to the search for Sophie, which now has more than 1,600 members.

Anyone who sees Sophie is urged to call 999 and speak to North Yorkshire Police, quoting reference 12230110845.

Meanwhile, posters have been put up across Harrogate and Knaresborough asking people to look for her.

Mountain rescue organisations have also been involved in the search

Sophie left home around 6.50pm on Friday evening and was seen 15 minutes later on CCTV, but has not been seen since.

However, police revealed yesterday that her mobile phone, bank card and top had been found by a member of the public near the river at Nidd Gorge in Bilton on Saturday morning.

At a press conference in the area yesterday afternoon, critical incident inspector Graham Waller said:
