Police called in mountain rescue volunteers, specialist search dogs and drones as part of the search for Mrs Jones.

Missing person flyers were also circulated to local dog walkers and hikers.

Members of the community also joined the search, with some scouring nearby Llanwonno Forest after police said they believed Mrs Jones had headed in its direction after being seen on Graigwen Road.

Chief Insp Matt Rowlands had urged those volunteering to search to take care of the “terrain and conditions” so as not to put themselves in danger.

“I understand how distressing this is for Joanne’s family and friends, and we are grateful for the ongoing support offered by the local community over the past few days,” he said at the time.
