DCI Nick Gossett said: "We would like to speak to people who were in the area of Harbour Parade or around Ramsgate Sands, or who might have seen Becky during the evening of Saturday, going into Sunday.

"As it was a bank holiday weekend, the area was busy and if people have information which could help our investigation, we would ask them to contact us."
