Victoria Taylor has now been missing for five days with people on a Facebook page set up for the search coming up with their own ideas and suggestions to find her
Online sleuths claim missing Victoria Taylor ’s Instagram page was “active” in the hours after she vanished, as the search continues.
The 34-year-old was last seen at her home in Malton, North Yorkshire, on Monday morning at about 9am. She has not contacted her family or friends in that time, although yesterday police released an image of Victoria taken from CCTV two hours after she was last seen, sparking a huge search of the local area.
More than 4,000 people have so far joined a Facebook page to help in the search, with several putting forward their own ideas. One suggested they had noticed the popular nurse’s social media page had been recently active.
They said: “Sorry if this has been posted but her Instagram account was active yesterday, not to say it wasn’t her family using the account?” Another added: “If she’s feeling overwhelmed she won’t open the messages if she has her phone with her, by now it would be flat.”
Another sadly said: “I messaged her fb last night and no reply back, didn’t even say active.”
Earlier today, friends of missing Victoria told supporters “not to give up”, as the search goes on. Friend Charlotte Cundill issued a rallying cry for her friends not to lose hope.
She said: “Please, please, please do not give up on my beautiful friend as the days pass by. We’re onto day five and the food festival is in town so it’s going to be busy over the weekend.
“I don’t want this search being forgotten about in the meantime. We still need every bit of support the community has already shown to continue as much as possible to bring Vixx home.
“Please make tomorrow another crazy day of searching and keeping everyone updated. Please keep printing posters off to hand/share out. We will do everything we can to keep the public updated as much as possible.”
The last update from North Yorkshire Police came nearly 24 hours ago, as they released a CCTV image of the mum taken two hours after she vanished. Inspector Martin Dennison from North Yorkshire Police said: “We are very concerned about Victoria’s whereabouts and, like her family and friends, just want to see her safe and well.
“I would urge the public to be cautious if looking for Victoria near the river. Our officers have specialist training and equipment, and they are used to working in various terrains.
“If you do have any information which can help with the search then please call us 101. Any immediate sightings should be reported to 999.”
