Chief Insp Daniel Taylor, who is leading the Gwent Police search operation, said both police and her family are increasingly concerned for her welfare. | |
"She has gone missing from her home address, that is particularly the reason for the concern. There is no motive for it," he said. | |

He said that forensic teams had examined the area and extensive searches have been carried out in the neighbourhood. | |
Chief Insp Taylor added: "There is no forensic evidence that she has been taken." | |
He also appealed to anyone who may know Nida to come forward with any information they may have about her social circle. | |
"There must be other people out there who know Nida who are not necessarily known to the family" he said. | |
