The search for missing Harrogate woman Judith Holliday is once again focusing on North Rigton after a possible sighting on a bus to Ripon was ruled out.
Judith, 73, was last seen on Saturday, August 27, when she left her care home in Harrogate and walked to the bus station and Library Gardens.
A further sighting the same day in North Rigton has been confirmed by North Yorkshire Police.
Another sighting was reported on September 1 by a passenger on a bus to Ripon but this was ruled out today.
Judith Holliday
Judith's family had been anxiously awaiting CCTV footage from the Harrogate Bus Company to confirm whether or not it was her.
Lucinda Edwards, Judith's niece, appealed to the company on social media over the weekend to speed up the process of checking the CCTV images.
Lucinda told the Stray Ferret it was frustrating to have to wait until after the weekend for the footage to be assessed.
Ms Edwards, a charity fundraiser from Harrogate, said:
Posters have gone up across the district.
Judith is described as being of thin build, approximately 5ft in height with medium length grey hair.
She has a condition which presents like vascular dementia, meaning she can get a bit confused, but often comes across as being as sharp as a tack.
Lucinda said:
North Yorkshire Police said anyone with any information that could assist with the search should call 101 and quote reference number 12220153505.
Any immediate sightings should be reported via 999.
