Concerns are growing for 15-year-old Rosemary Edwards who went missing from her family home in Dibden Purlieu sometime after 10.30pm on Tuesday, September 4.
Rosemary had never left home before but has been described as being in a distressed state after a family discussion ended in disagreement.
Police have conducted a number of enquiries throughout the area and with other police forces in their bid to obtain any information about Rosemary’s whereabouts.
Specialist POLSA search teams are being drafted in today, Friday, September 7, to conduct fingertip searches in and around Rosemary’s home in Wellington Close.
They will be supported by the force Air Support Unit, Dog Units and other agencies, including the Marine and Coastguard Agency.
Neighbours and residents living within a half-mile radius of Rosemary’s home are also being asked to support the police, by checking sheds, garages and gardens.
In addition, officers are keen to speak to dog walkers, walkers, joggers or horse riders who have used routes through the New Forest, in particular Beaulieu Heath and Dibden Inclosure, since Tuesday night may have information which could assist with the enquiry.
Drivers in the area of the Heath Roundabout at Dibden Purlieu after 10.30pm on Tuesday night area also asked to contact police.
