It's mentioned she has access to a van, which I take to mean they haven't located it.
Surely they would have located it by now if she had say, succumbed to a wild swim, as they knew the general area where she had been and the vehicle wouldn't have moved.
In the absence of the van, she must have moved on.
Given her seemingly nomadic lifestyle I can see that this could be one that just never get's resolved.

I just can’t get over how those last seen cctv photos look so, so different to any of the other photos we’ve seen of her. I would not think they were the same person. To me, she looks quite unwell and unkempt in those cctv images.

I fear is it coincidence the missing Hungarian sisters, Amanda from Hull and this lady all went missing on Tuesday. January a tricky month for many.
Hope they are all safe and warm somewhere and just taking time out
MOO

I think Jan 7th is the same day Heni & Eliza went missing.

Family and friends stated on the police Facebook post that the van was located early on near the ferry terminal, and all of her belongings were inside.

I’ve had a look back through and I can’t find the answer, but do we know where these 2 cctv images are from? Certainly, in the one where she is looking at the camera, she doesn’t look happy.

As for the suggestion she is a wild swimmer and may have gone for a swim, I’m a wild swimmer and I would swim year round. But certainly, in January, even with my van parked up nearby, I would be taking a noticeable amount of stuff with me onto to the beach. A swim robe, towel(s), bag or I’d take a high viz tow float to put my keys in, probably crocs to change out of water shoes after. Like it would be a pile of stuff. Even if abandoned and the tide came in and took it, it would wash back up eventually. Also swimmers swimming alone this time of year probably won’t go far. I would think something would have washed up by now to indicate she was in the water. MOO
