Police appeal after Bristol woman, 25, not seen for five days
Blonde Joanna Yeates, 25, was last seen leaving a pub on Bristol's Park Street at 8pm on Friday evening after drinks with colleagues.
She arrived home after picking up shopping at a local Tesco but has not been seen or heard from since.
Joanna - known as Jo to friends - was reported missing by her boyfriend Greg Reardon when he returned to the flat they shared in Clifton on Sunday night.
She has not taken any possessions with her family say her disappearance is totally out of character.
Today her parents David, 63, and Teresa, 58, who live in Southampton, issued a public appeal for her safe return.
They sobbed during a press conference alongside Joanna's brother Chris and boyfriend Greg.
David said: ''Jo is a vibrant young woman and this is completely out of character for her. We need your help to find her.''
Clutching Teresa's hand, he sobbed: ''Jo, whatever the reason that you have not been in touch over the last few days we want you to know that we love you dearly.
''Please get in touch as soon as possible. Either to the police or anyone who can confirm you are ok.''
Blue-eyed Jo, who is a size 8 to 10 and 5ft 4ins tall, was wearing dark grey skinny jeans and a pale top when she went for drinks with a group of work friends at The Ram pub.
She left there alone at 8pm and visited Tesco Express on Regent Street in Clifton, which is less than half-a-mile from her home on Canynge Road.
Officers searching her flat for clues to her disappearance found the receipt from Tesco, which gave the time of 8.40pm.
Boyfriend Greg raised the alarm when he returned to the flat late on Sunday night after visiting family in Sheffield over the weekend.
Detective Superintendent Mark Saunders, who is leading the investigation for Avon and somerset Police, said Jo's disappearance was a ''complete mystery''.
He said: ''This is completely out of character for Jo. We are concerned for her welfare and we now need help from the public.
''We have gone through every normal scenario as to where she could be but nothing has turned up so far.''
He added that Jo had been suffering from headaches in the week before her disappearance, but had not checked into any hospital for treatment.
