Multiple people sought over missing 22-year-old woman last seen near suspension bridge
CCTV images revealed that Gwenno walked alone in the direction of the Menai Bridge late on that Monday evening, between the hours of 10.20pm and 11.10pm. Personal items, believed to belong to Gwenno, were subsequently found on the Menai Suspension Bridge on Tuesday morning.
A major sea search has been carried out in the area, with an HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter, multiple rescue teams and RNLI lifeboats deployed in the search, but Gwenno has not been located.

In an appeal for information issued on Thursday, July 31, North Wales Police confirmed Gwenno was wearing grey jogging bottoms, a grey hoodie, and black trainers on the night she went missing.
The appeal stated: "Our enquiries to date lead us to believe that Gwenno may have entered the waters of the Menai Strait."
Police released further CCTV images on Tuesday (August 4) and confirmed they now wanted talk to a female pedestrian crossing the bridge at a similar time to Gwenno to see if they could assist with the investigation.
They also want to speak to a cyclist and the drivers and any passengers in three vehicles who were also travelling across the bridge around the time they believe Gwenno may have reached the crossing over the Menai Strait.
The vehicles are a Silver Audi TT, a black Skoda Octavia, and a grey BMW 116.
Chief Inspector Stephen Pawson said: "Extensive searches remain underway in the Menai Strait area, and we continue to provide support to Gwenno's family during this extremely difficult time.
'Having analysed CCTV footage, we are confident that Gwenno reached the Menai Suspension Bridge shortly before 11:10pm.
"This footage also captures a female pedestrian crossing on the opposite side of the bridge at that time. We're appealing for this individual to come forward and assist with the investigation.
'We're also keen to speak with a cyclist and the drivers of three cars who were all seen travelling across the bridge at around the same time.
'These vehicles included a Silver Audi TT, a black Skoda Octavia, and a grey BMW 116.
"We are grateful to all who have responded to our prior requests for information, and to those who have assisted in our investigation to date."
Anyone with information that may help is urged to contact North Wales Police via the website or by calling 101, quoting iTrace reference 51505.

Loveland police investigating possible illegal casino in Northern Colorado
The Loveland Police Department confirmed that it's investigating a possible illegal casino that was operating in downtown Loveland. Concerned residents took to social media, including Facebook and Reddit, to share their concerns about the alleged illegal operation. Those users claimed it was taking place at 101 W. 4th Street in Loveland. Larimer County property records show Hargrave Holdings LLC owns the building, which houses King Storage, a storage unit park at the center of the investigation. Attempts to reach representatives for the storage park and the holding company by phone on Wednesday were both unsuccessful. When CBS News Colorado contacted the Loveland Police Department to see if there was an investigation, a spokesperson confirmed that police were looking into a possible illegal casino operation on that property. However, citing an ongoing investigation, they declined to provide specific details beyond that. "We can confirm that this is actively under investigation. The LPD is taking this seriously and we have continuous efforts involved into this case," the spokesperson wrote in a statement. A spokesperson for the Larimer County District Attorney's Office confirmed the office was aware of the investigation but couldn't provide any further details, citing that a case had not been filed yet. CBS News Colorado has learned there's more than one agency investigating the alleged activities at the property; however, it was not made clear which other agency or agencies may be involved.
