The family of a young woman missing for nearly a week are due to make a fresh appeal for information.
Architect Joanna Yeates, 25, has not been seen or heard from since Friday following a night out with work colleagues.
She lived with her boyfriend, Greg Reardon, 27, in Clifton, Bristol.
Mr Reardon, who worked at the same practice as Miss Yeates, reported her missing after returning to the flat they shared on Sunday. He had been visiting family in Sheffield over the weekend and had been unable to contact her.
He said on Wednesday: “I desperately want her back – I thought we would be together forever. She was my future. This Christmas was going to be our first together. I was going to spend it with her family, which is always a big deal for a boyfriend.
“We were both really happy in our jobs – we worked together and that’s how we met.”
Police investigating the disappearance are examining new CCTV footage and have also taken a phone and laptop computer from Mr Reardon. He is not believed to be a suspect.
Known as Jo to friends, Miss Yeates was last seen leaving the Ram pub in Park Street, Bristol, at about 8pm, walking up the street. She stopped in Waitrose and then carried on to the Tesco Express on Regent Street at about 8.40pm. A receipt from Tesco was found in her flat, along with the cream-coloured coat she had been wearing.
Following an emotional appeal for information regarding her whereabouts by Miss Yeates’s parents David, 63, and Teresa, 58, on Tuesday, private CCTV footage was handed to Avon and Somerset Police which shows Canynge Road, Bristol, where she lived with Mr Reardon.
Anyone who has seen her or knows of her whereabouts is asked to contact the Operation Braid incident room on 0845 456 7000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
