THE search was continuing in London today for former York schoolgirl Sarah Everard, one week after she disappeared while walking home.

Sarah, 33, whose father Jeremy is a professor at the University of York, has not been seen since she left a friend’s house in Clapham last Wednesday evening to walk across Clapham Common to her home in Brixton.

Detectives investigating the disappearance of the ex-Fulford School pupil have thanked the public for their assistance to date, as they appealed for further information.

Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin, who is leading the investigation, said: “We have seen an overwhelming response from the public not only in terms of information that has come into us; but also how social media is being used to share the appeals far and wide.”

She said a number of CCTV recordings had been seized but she knew there were likely to be many more out there.
