Elizabeth McVey, 50, known as "Libby", was last seen in her home in Musselburgh, East Lothian, about half past midnight last Monday.

Her disappearance sparked a major police operation involving specialist search teams and including mounted police and a helicopter air support team from Strathclyde.

Police are eager to talk to two people thought to have spoken to Mrs McVey, a keen walker, who was taking a stroll at Musselburgh harbour at 6am the day before she disappeared. Yesterday, a Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: "We are keen for any fresh information that can help shed any light on Elizabeth's movements in the day leading up to her disappearance and, of course, any sightings of her since she went missing."
