The search in the local area will continue until Wednesday, when they will resume the search at the end of the week.

Police did not want to go out with the last reliable signs of life from the woman, but say they made discoveries on the woman's and the man's mobile phones.
– We have received a lot of information from the phones, which we are currently analyzing. It doesn't lead to finding the woman, but it paints an overall picture of the case, Carter says.
