The map shows Ms Stenson was dropped off at an address on Hawke Road in the Wheatley area at around 17:05 BST, officers said.

She is seen on CCTV five minutes later on Hawke Road, then a further seven minutes later on Thorne Road.

A fourth sighting shows Ms Stenson at 17:40 BST at Racecourse Roundabout/Bawtry Road, with a final sighting showing her passing Cantley Lane at 17:57 BST, walking in the direction of Rose Hill Cemetery.

A police spokesperson said specialist search teams, off-road bike teams, mounted officers, drones, search dogs, and the National Police Air Service helicopter, had so far all been used in the search.

They described Ms Stenson as white, 5ft 5ins (1.7m) tall, with very long, grey hair.

She was last seen wearing a black vest top with a floral pattern and orange shorts, they added, they said.

Officers asked anyone who lived in the vicinity of Cantley Lane to check their home CCTV and dashcam footage from the evening of Monday 12 August.
