Dozens of officers in white overalls were seen going in and out of the home, which is just metres away from the Shell garage, where she was last seen on Remembrance Sunday.

Around five unmarked police cars, as well as a patrol car, were parked outside the house at around 11.30am on the main road.

Police stood and talked for a couple of minutes at the end of the drive, where a single bouquet of flowers has been laid, before entering the house.

Ms Morgan's white Mini Cooper which she filled up with petrol at the nearby garage has been found, police confirmed earlier this week.
