It has now almost been two weeks since Mark and Constance’s car broke down on the M61 near Bolton, and they have been on the move all that time with a newborn baby,” said Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford, who is leading the investigation.

“As far as we are aware, neither Constance nor the baby have received medical attention since it was born. Our top priority is to keep the baby, as well as Constance and Mark, safe and healthy.

Officers were called to a car on fire on the hard shoulder of the M61 near junction four at 18.33 hrs on Thursday, 5 January (Farnworth, Bolton). The occupants, however, were not present.
The car fire is thought to have destroyed the majority of their belongings.
Inquiries revealed that the car’s occupants were Constance and Mark, and that Constance had recently given birth, possibly one or two days before, and had not been evaluated by medical professionals.
Greater Manchester Police launched a missing persons investigation, and it was discovered that the family had safely exited the vehicle and the motorway, walking to the Anchor Lane bridge, which connects the Highfield and Little Hulton areas.
Officers believe they then took a taxi to Liverpool and then to Harwich around 3am. on Friday, January 6.
A member of the public noticed Mark, Constance, and a baby in Harwich around 9 a.m. on Saturday, January 7. On Friday, January 6 and Saturday, January 7, officers received a number of confirmed sightings of the family in Colchester.
On Monday, January 9, the investigation was turned over to Essex Police.
Essex Police conducted a number of inquiries and reviewed hours of CCTV footage before locating the couple near East Ham Station on Saturday, 7 January, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Because this was the family’s last confirmed sighting, the investigation was turned over to the Metropolitan Police Service on Thursday, January 12.
“This is a complex investigation,” Detective Superintendent Basford said, adding that officers from across the Met are working around the clock to find Constance, Mark, and their baby. There’s nothing to suggest that any of them did it on purpose; we just need to make sure they’re all right, especially the baby, and don’t need any medical attention for any underlying issues.
“The last confirmed sighting of them was more than a week ago in East Ham – they could now be anywhere in the UK, which is why it is critical that members of the public continue to contact us with any suspected sightings,” said a police spokesman. So far, the assistance you’ve provided has been invaluable. Please keep Constance, Mark, and the baby in mind; if you see them or believe you have seen them, please contact us immediately.”
Anyone with information about the family’s whereabouts is asked to contact the incident room at 020 7175 0785.
