Police have released a “chilling last sighting” of a missing mum who vanished 11 days ago whilst on a walk.

Christine Stenson, 66, of the Wheatley area in Doncaster, was last spotted walking along Cantley Lane in the direction of Rose Cemetery on August 12 at 5.57pm.


She had been dropped off at an address in Hawke Road at around 5.05pm, and South Yorkshire Police believe she only spent five minutes at the property before leaving.

The 66-year-old was then spotted seven minutes later on Thorne Road, before a fourth sighting caught her at Racecourse Roundabout at 5.40pm.

Officers said they are “keen” to understand where she may have gone after this.

They said they had “deployed numerous resources” in trying to locate the missing 66-year-old.
