Detectives have recovered fresh CCTV showing the last sighting of Victoria, the Sun can reveal.

However, this has not been released publicly.

She was captured passing Malton’s bus station and is thought to have gone by a children’s play park before joining a muddy riverside path last Monday morning, after going missing.

Previously, police had released a CCTV capture of her at a BP garage.

Friends meanwhile told of their disgust today after a “sick” troll infilitrated a Facebook group set up to help locate Victoria and claimed she had been found.

They claimed that a police statement would be issued confirming the news.

Another local said: “The river is very dangerous when it’s receding -there’s a slippery bank side.”

A police diver said: “The weather is alright at the moment but it’s going to get worse over the next week.”

Asked if that would make search and rescue efforts more difficult, another searcher replied: “Yes.”
