       Detective Inspector Matt Powell, who is leading the investigation, said: “Specially trained officers continue to support June’s family during what is a very difficult time.

       “We are very grateful for the public’s help and support to date and our investigation is continuing.

       “Farm workers, ramblers and also those living in villages between these two locations are asked to look out for them.

       “Anybody who comes across them should contact us without handling the items. This will ensure they can be recovered correctly by trained officers so that potential evidence is not lost.”
