Couple and newborn missing for weeks have been sleeping in TENT in freezing cold

Detectives believe that missing mum Constance Marten and her newborn baby have been sleeping in a tent in the freezing cold.

He bought a blue two-man tent, two sleeping bags and two pillows, police said. He paid in cash. He then left the shop at 6.40pm. Police said the pair spent just over three hours walking around the Whitechapel Road area. Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford, who is leading the investigation, said the family may be trying to 'blend in with homeless communities' or may be camping in more rural or wooded area.

"It could be that they are trying to blend in with homeless communities, either here in London or further afield, or they could be camping in more rural or wooded areas. They could be absolutely anywhere in the country. Please keep your eyes peeled, especially while you are out and about in waste ground or beauty spots, or while you’re walking the dog, and report any information, no matter how insignificant you think it is, to us.

After leaving the vehicle, the pair are believed to have walked to Anchor Bridge, which links Little Hulton and Highfield. They used cash to travel by taxi first to Liverpool and then Colchester. The couple were seen leaving the taxi with an orange carrier bag and pram. They both had their heads and faces covered and Mark was wearing white plastic bags on his shoes, police said.
