What happened to Annie Dryden? Police are no closer to finding missing student, ... trends now

Police are no closer to finding a 20-year-old student who disappeared two months ago despite a massive hunt by two forces and a mountain rescue unit.

Annie Dryden boarded a train in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, on January 4, before getting off at nearby Battersby, a rural hamlet in the North York Moors National Park.

She hasn't been since, and police fear she may have got into trouble hiking in the remote moorland or even that she could even be in London.

But so far their investigation has failed to yield any clues. 

The investigation was first launched by Cleveland Police, but transferred to North Yorkshire Police after CCTV emerged of Annie getting off the train in Battersby.

Today marks two months since the investigation was ramped up to include a larger search area over to the village of Castleton, near Whitby.

Annie's family issued a desperate plea for help last month, saying, 'you don't need to come home, we just need to know you are ok'.

But it is understood that despite a huge effort by North Yorkshire Police, which has been leading the search alongside mountain rescue teams, no significant developments have occurred.

Annie was seen on footage boarding a train at Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital shortly after 2pm on January 4, before getting off at Battersby around half an hour later.

As well as the North York Moors, questions were also raised over whether Annie could have somehow travelled to London after it emerged she had connections in Sidcup. 

However, police said North Yorkshire remained the focus of their search.
