Police looking for missing woman Victoria Taylor have found a body close to where she was last seen.
The 34-year-old nurse was last seen on 30 September after she left her home in Malton, North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Fox said on Tuesday that underwater search teams found the body in the River Derwent.
He said it was located close to where a number of Ms Taylor’s personal possessions had been found.

Formal identification is yet to take place, but Ms Taylor’s family have been informed.
“Whilst today’s outcome is not what anybody would wish for, Victoria’s family have again asked me to express their thanks to all of those who’ve supported North Yorkshire Police and other emergency services in our efforts to locate Victoria,” Assistant Chief Constable Fox said.
“Victoria’s family and those closest to her have understandably felt an enormous amount of heartache since the day she was reported missing, and they’ve previously acknowledged just how grateful they are to the local community for the overwhelming level of support that they have had as a family.”
