Underwater teams join search for missing woman last seen at petrol station
Rachel Booth, 38, from Northwich, Cheshire, was reported missing after being last seen by her family in the Barnton area.
She was seen one final further time at around 3.50am, five miles away, at the Sandiway garage on the A556 road.
Police believe she may have travelled to the Oakmere area of Delamere, where police officers, underwater search teams and Cheshire Search and Rescue are currently conducting enquiries.
A water park in Delamere, less than two miles away from the petrol station, said it was closed on Sunday due to a police investigation in the surrounding area.
Ms Booth is described as 5ft 9ins, of a slim build, with blonde hair and is believed to be wearing black leggings and a black top.
Superintendent Paul Hughes said: "We are currently following a number of inquiries to trace Rachel and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.
"Investigators are following all lines of inquiry and anyone who has seen Rachel since she was reported missing is asked to contact us," he added.
"The same goes for anyone who has any information on her whereabouts.
"We would also like to appeal directly to Rachel to get in touch to let us know you are OK."

Part of central New York City locked down for 'active shooter'
Police swarmed Midtown Manhattan on Monday as the mayor of New York City said there was "an active shooter investigation" amid reports a police officer had been struck. "New Yorkers: there is an active shooter investigation taking place in Midtown right now. Please take proper safety precautions if you are in vicinity and do not go outside if you are near Park Avenue and East 51st Street," Mayor Eric Adams wrote on X. Police officers deployed a drone near Park Avenue at the height of the evening rush-hour as dozens of officers gathered in the area, some carrying long guns and others wearing ballistic vests. A number of ambulances had gathered in the vicinity. Officers at the scene confirmed to an AFP correspondent that there was a shooter but gave no other details. CNN reported that a police officer and at least one civilian had been shot, but AFP was unable to immediately confirm that. Police repeatedly pushed back journalists and members of the public who gathered to see what was happening in the normally calm but busy area of Midtown Manhattan. The area is home to several five-star business hotels, as well as a number of corporate headquarters, including Colgate Palmolive and KPMG, the auditor. gl/gw/mlm Solve the daily Crossword

Sterling Heights police, Michigan state troopers rescue missing 78-year-old man after 10-hour search
A missing 78-year-old man was found Friday evening in Sterling Heights after a 10-hour search that included a Michigan State Police helicopter unit and several teams on the ground. The Sterling Heights man, who state police said has dementia, was found alive and conscious in a heavily wooded area of Dodge Park. The city park, which is along Utica Road, includes over 51 acres. The man was reported missing earlier in the day, with a "full-scale search" initiated by the Sterling Heights Police Department. As night fell with his whereabouts still unknown, the Michigan State Police Trooper 2 helicopter team joined the search. About 9:30 p.m., the aviation team saw on their tracking equipment the image of what appeared to be a person just off a Dodge Park trail. Sunset had taken place at 8:59 p.m. that night in Sterling Heights. "I believe we've found your subject," the helicopter team called out to dispatchers in a video provided by Michigan State Police. Then speaking to the crews on the ground, the air crew said, "Whomever just hit me with the light, he's about 10 feet in front of you." The man was about 100 yards into the woods, lying in mud beneath a tree, the police report said. Given his condition, officers carried him out of the woods to the trail, where he was placed in the Kubota utility vehicle and transported to Farmstead Park, which is a nearby city-owned park in Sterling Heights. Medical crews met the missing man and police at Farmstead Park and took him to the hospital. He has been reunited with family. The man was reported in stable condition Monday and is expected to make a full recovery. "There is no doubt in our minds that had it not been for the critical assistance of the Michigan State Police helicopter, this outcome could have been very different," Sterling Heights Police Chief Andy Satterfield said. "All of the officers involved demonstrated unwavering determination, and their teamwork, skill, and refusal to give up quite literally saved a life." The Sterling Heights department extended its gratitude to Michigan State Police, Sterling Heights Community Emergency Response Team, Citizens' Patrol, Police Explorers, and other officers who were involved in the search.
