Police release CCTV of missing woman

Police hunting for missing architect Joanna Yeates have released new CCTV showing her buying a pizza in a Tesco Express on the night she was last seen.

The footage shows Miss Yeates, 25, buying a Tesco Finest tomato, mozzarella and basil pesto pizza at around 8.40pm on December 17 in Clifton Village, Bristol.

She is seen using a self-service till in the supermarket and is wearing a cream-coloured coat with a rucksack on her back.

Detectives have appealed for the whereabouts of the pizza, because there was no trace of it, the wrapping or the box in the flat that Miss Yeates shared with her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27.

A police spokesman said: "The video has been released by detectives hoping people in the area at the time will remember seeing Joanna and contact the police."

Miss Yeates's family are desperately hoping for news with a week having passed since her disappearance.

David and Theresa Yeates sobbed as they acknowledged that she could be being held against her will and begged for her to be returned safe and well.

Miss Yeates has not been seen or heard from since last Friday following a night out with work colleagues in Bristol.

Her boyfriend reported her missing on Sunday night after returning home to their flat in Canynge Road, Clifton, from a weekend away in Sheffield visiting family.

Detectives are investigating the possibility that Miss Yeates was abducted and said it was one of several lines of inquiry.
