'Judicial process'
Det Supt John Hanson, from North Wales Police, renewed an appeal for anyone who was in and around the area of the disused quarry in Pinfold Lane in Alltami at any time last weekend to come forward.
"I have already spoken about the extent and scope of the examinations and searches taking place and the resources involved in the search to find Catherine," he said.
"Those searches will continue into this evening and throughout the weekend.
"We will do all that is conceivably possible to find Catherine and return her to her family. That remains our priority."
He said the missing woman's family are still in north Wales and are being supported by family liaison officers.
"They are aware of this significant development and they are fully updated on progress of the investigation.
"It is now time to let the judicial process take its course and time to let the family come to terms with what has happened over the last week," he added.
