(about 1 hour later) | |

Three hours later she was filmed by CCTV on Newcastle's Quayside, and with no further sightings it is now believed she went into the water. | |
More than 100 people turned up for a minute's silence and to lay flowers. | |
The disappearance of the mother-of three sparked a major search operation, involving many local people, in her home town. | |
Then after CCTV images emerged, police divers searched a section of the River Tyne, but drew a blank. | |
Her family said it was possible she could have been suffering from mental health problems, and set up a fundraising page for the charity Mind, which has more than doubled the initial target of £5,000. |
