Police are searching a field close to where murdered mother Linda Razzell went missing 17 years ago.
She was last seen on March 19, 2002, in Swindon, Wiltshire after driving to work at a college and her mobile phone was found dumped in a nearby alleyway.

The search is taking place less than half-a-mile from Mrs Razzell's former home in Pentylands Close after police were given a tip-off by members of the public.
