TOMORROW, New Year's Day, marks three weeks since the disappearance of 32 year-old Natalie Jenkins, who was last seen at her home address on Westbury Street in Thornaby.

A team of officers have been working solely on this investigation to help find her, carrying out searches of her property, analysing CCTV and her phone as well as interviewing anyone that may know her. Thanks to the public they are now following new lines of enquiry.

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Murphy King said: “The Force is extremely concerned for the whereabouts of Natalie. For a woman who is usually in touch with her family every day, it is so out of character for her not to be in touch, especially over Christmas and New Year.

“Three weeks is a very long time to not access your phone, personal possessions or to not contact your family. Someone out there must know where she is or has the information that can help us locate her.

“Natalie’s family are desperate for answers and the Force would urge anyone with any information regarding her whereabouts to please urgently contact us.”

Natalie is a white female, of very slim build, around 5’5” tall with a fair complexion and straight brown hair. She has hazel eyes and a missing front tooth. Natalie has a tattoo saying SWANN on her neck and another on her wrist saying SWANNY.

Anyone with information as to Natalie’s whereabouts or anyone who may have seen her is asked to contact Cleveland Police on 101.
