Underwater teams join search for missing woman last seen at petrol station

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.

"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."

Missing Wisconsin grad student Eliotte Heinz's mom says cellphone found as police eye timeline: expert
Authorities are asking for the public's help as the search for the Wisconsin graduate student who vanished while walking home after a night out with friends over the weekend enters its fourth day. Eliotte Heinz, 22, was last seen walking home from a local bar along the Mississippi River waterfront at around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to the La Crosse Police Department. Heinz was enjoying a night out with friends at Broncos Bar when she left around 2:30 a.m. She was seen on surveillance footage walking in the direction of her apartment, which would have been about 30 minutes on foot, around 0.4 miles from the bar. "She is beautiful inside and out," Heinz's mother, Amber, told "Fox and Friends." "She has got the biggest heart and unending kindness for everyone. I think that is noted by how many people have showed up for her." Heinz's parents knew something was wrong when they were unable to reach their daughter on Sunday morning. Her family, friends and local police have made "several attempts to locate her with no success," authorities said in a statement. Heinz's cellphone was located by her friends during the search, according to her mother. "She is our oldest," Amber Heinz said. "So her brother and sister, and her dad and I want her back." Heinz is described as 5-foot, 4-inches tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and jean shorts, police said. Viterbo University previously shared a statement on Facebook from Heinz's family as they pleaded for the safe return of the graduate student. "On behalf of our entire family, thank you," the Heinz family wrote. "The outpouring of support in the search for Eliotte has been overwhelming, and we are deeply grateful for the kindness, prayers, and encouragement from the community and beyond. Many of you have asked how you can help. At this time, the most important thing you can do is continue sharing Eliotte's information on social media." Heinz is a student in Viterbo's mental health counseling program, her mother told Fox News Digital. The family is asking anyone living within the area to review their home security camera footage from early Sunday between 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. "Numerous resources are being utilized as we continue to receive tips and follow up with the information," the La Crosse Police Department said in an updated statement. "In a case like this, the first priority is to reconstruct the timeline," retired FBI Agent Jason Pack told Fox News Digital. "Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage, gathering witness statements, and looking at any phone, social media, or financial activity that could help determine where she went and whether she was alone." According to Pack, investigators are likely working to determine if Heinz was alone at the time of her disappearance and whether she left voluntarily. "If investigators believe there was an abduction, or if there is evidence the person crossed state lines or was taken across them, federal involvement becomes more likely," Pack said. "The FBI can be requested by local or state authorities when a case needs additional support or expertise." As the search enters its third day, Heinz's family is asking for their daughter's safe return. "We're just really letting the police department focus on their job here right now and just trying to get her picture out there," Amber Heinz said. "That's what we're here for. We're here for Eliotte and keeping our focus on her and getting her home." Anyone with information about Heinz's whereabouts is asked to call the police non-emergency number at 608-782-7575. Information can also be sent anonymously to La Crosse Area Crime Stoppers at 608-784-TIPS or submitted online at The La Crosse Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
