The mother of missing teenager Gaia Pope has said she is “holding on to hope” after clothing belonging to her daughter was found on open land outside Swanage.
The case is now being treated as a murder inquiry.
Writing in the Find Gaia Facebook group, Natasha Pope said: “I believe in this community and I believe miracles can happen.
“I am holding on to hope, along with Gaia’s sisters and the whole family who are my strength. Please hold on with us.”
Police have said clothing discovered on Thursday on open land north of Swanage appeared to be Miss Pope’s and matched what she was wearing when she was last seen.
Miss Pope vanished on the afternoon of November 7. On Friday night, volunteers were out with torches scouring acres of the Dorset countryside in an effort to find the 19-year-old.
So far, three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
A 49-year-old man named locally as Paul Elsey was released under investigation on Friday afternoon. A 71-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man were released under investigation on suspicion of murder on Tuesday following their arrest the previous day.
Volunteers are being asked to join mass searches of Swanage today. People are being asked to gather at midday at three separate locations to join line-searches.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
