Becky Watts: One week on and still no clues

By Pamela Parkes  Thursday Feb 26, 2015

Seven days after Becky Watts went missing and there are still no clues to her whereabouts.

Detectives and forensic officers are searching her home in Crown Hill today and the search of open areas close to her home continues including Troopers Hill.

The police helicopter has been seen circling above St George for much of the day.

Extra officers from Devon and Cornwall and Wiltshire have been drafted in to help with the search for 16-year-old.

Officers said at this stage the investigation is still being treated as a missing person enquiry.

Last night 200 family and friends gathered to distribute posters and search for Becky who went missing last Thursday morning – the 19th of February.

At an earlier police press conference DI Richard Ocone, who is leading the investigation, spoke directly to Becky: “All we are concerned about is your well being and we just want to make sure you are ok.

“If you can call home or one of your friends or call us on 101, we can help you to work through anything you may be worrying about.

“I would also ask anyone who might know where Becky is to come forward and let us know.

“It’s completely out of character for Becky to leave without telling her family or friends where she’s going – especially if she is not planning on coming home.
