The friend of a woman missing from her home in Market Drayton has urged her to "make contact with somebody".
Speaking to BBC Shropshire, Sian Rushton said missing Christine Fish was a "brilliant lady, so caring, so kind" and everyone looking for her was concerned.
West Mercia Police have issued CCTV images of Ms Fish, 55, who has been missing from her home since last Wednesday, and was last seen in Shrewsbury on Friday.
Her friend said Ms Fish could walk for miles, so just because she was seen in Shrewsbury did not mean she was still there now.
'Please get in touch'
Appealing to her friend, she said: "Chris, if you're listening to this or you can hear it please reach out to somebody.
"We saw the CCTV. We know you're alive and well, but you need to contact somebody, even if you walk into a church, it's a passer-by or a dog walker - please just make contact.
"You know where I am. You know my number. Please just get in touch."
Ms Rushton, from Market Drayton, urged all members of the public, including people with CCTV, cameras or Ring doorbells to watch out for her and contact police if they saw her.
Det Sgt Alex Sullivan said: "We, along with Christine's family, are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare and ask that you contact us with any detail, however small you feel that may be".
Police released a CCTV image in the hope that someone may have seen Ms Fish
Police said Ms Fish was seen walking out of Blacks in Shoplatch, Shrewsbury, last Friday, where she bought a black jacket that she may now be wearing.
It is also believed she used her phone in Sutton Hill in Telford at about 16:00 GMT on Tuesday.
She is described as white, about 5ft 7in, with a slim build and grey shoulder length hair.
Ms Fish wears glasses and was last seen wearing a rainbow-coloured scarf, a Lilo and Stitch jumper, a purple or black Regatta coat, black jeans and trainers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the force.
