Police use drone in search for missing Harrogate woman Judith
Police used a drone today in the search for missing Harrogate woman Judith Holliday.
The drone was flown in large open areas around North Rigton and Lindley Wood Reservoir as the search entered its 10th day.
Judith, 73, left her care home on Harcourt Road in Harrogate at 10.32am on Saturday, August 27. She was then captured on CCTV at Harrogate bus station and later in Library Gardens at 10.43am.
It’s believed she then caught a bus out of Harrogate and then flagged down a member of the public and asked for a lift to North Rigton, where the last confirmed sighting took place.
North Yorkshire Police is now asking anyone who was in North Rigton between 1.30pm and 3pm on August 27 to check any dashcam or camera footage to see if it captured Judith.
