A body has been found in the search for missing runner Jenny Hall. She vanished five days ago, and officers found a body in a remote area today.
Drones, sniffer dogs and 17 different search and rescue teams from across the country were involved in the search for the missing 23-year-old.
She was last seen leaving her home at Barracks Farm, Tow Law, Country Durham, on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, just after 3pm, The Mirror reports.
Her red Ford Focus was found parked on the B6278 in remote moorland less than 10 miles away between Eggleston and Stanhope on Wednesday.
Durham Constabulary said a body was found in a very remote area in Teesdale on Sunday morning and there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
While formal identification has not yet taken place, Ms Hall’s family have been notified and are being supported by specialist officers, the force added.
A file will be prepared for the coroner. Specialist drones and sniffer dogs were used in the search for Ms Hall, while mountain rescue teams also helped.
On Facebook, Teesdale and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team said rescuers had been looking tirelessly for her. In a post yesterday, they wrote: “The Team have spent a fourth day searching for Jenny Hall.
