An extensive search operation has been ongoing since her disappearance on May 30
A search is taking place for a British expat who has mysteriously vanished from her home in Costa Blanca. Janet Fison left home without her mobile phone, ID or cash.
She has been missing for more than two weeks. An extensive search operation has been ongoing since her disappearance on 30 May. The authorities are using drones, helicopters, sniffer dogs and thermal cameras to find the missing Brit.
Janet, who originally comes from Redhill, Surrey, left her home in Jacarilla on the Spanish Costa Blanca at around 7pm while wearing a colourful printed dress. The Spanish Civil Guard released CCTV image of her being served in a shop just before she vanished.
Janet's husband said she did not have her mobile phone or any cash with her. She also left home with her ID. According to reports, Janet was last sighted walking by the river towards the town of Benejuzar at around 8.40pm.
Jacarilla council thanked residents for helping in the ongoing search last week. They made a fresh appeal for anyone with information to contact the police as a matter of urgency.

Mike Lynch's superyacht set to be brought to town where prosecutors are based
Salvage crews spent Saturday raising the 56-metre (184ft) yacht above the water using one of Europe's most powerful sea cranes near the fishing town of Porticello. They said that on Sunday the vessel will be taken to Termini Imerese, a town around 20km away, where prosecutors investigating the sinking are based. Italian prosecutors previously said raising and examining the yacht for evidence would provide key information for its investigation into possible charges of manslaughter and negligent shipwreck. The vessel was originally expected to be raised last month but salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9, prompting greater use of remote-controlled equipment. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation, which began last month. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals. Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued. Mr Lynch and his daughter were said to have lived in the vicinity of London and the Bloomers lived in Sevenoaks, Kent.
