THE search for the body of missing woman Jenny Nicholl continued yesterday.

Trained police officers returned to Badger Beck Plantation on the outskirts of Richmond, North Yorkshire.

It is understood the 19-year-old camped in the woods near Waithwith Bank with friends before she went missing.

It is not known if she visited the area on June 30 -the day she left her parent's home saying she would not be back that night.

A friend of Miss Nicholl's, received a text sent from the teenager's phone after she went missing.

Detectives say the message, sent from the Carlisle area, indicated Miss Nicholl was safe and well.

Police say 30 officers have been assigned to the case.
