Nicola Urquhart hosted a 90-minute question and answer session as a Facebook Live, external last night.

The 23-year-old was last spotted on CCTV walking alone in Bury St Edmunds at about 03:25.

Events are being planned in Aldeburgh to mark 100 years since the death of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the pioneering physician and campaigner who retired to the coastal town and became England's first female mayor.

"There's a large wing in Ipswich hospital called the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson wing and that's kind of the clue to her life," he said.

"She was absolutely instrumental in promoting the role of women in medicine in the late 1800s, really a terrific woman."

"I will aim for 7pm. So if there is anything I can try to clarify, please just ask.

"There may be questions you have that I am unable to answer as it's the police that would be better placed. 

"If this is the case, it would be my intention to then put the top questions to the police in an open public letter. 

"Thank you Nicola x x "
