Reporter:
Today police called upon Mountain rescue teams to help them in their desperate search for the Missing 25 year old.
At the Avon Gorge in these difficult conditions the rescue teams with there climbing equipment to get to hard to reach areas that Police officers couldn't. It meant that they gained better vantage points to view ledges on the cliffs.
Alan George Fire and rescue:
At the moment we are tasked with covering the whole of the north side of the avon gorge right the way along from the stoke bishop end through to the observatory, checking the tops of cliffs, the bottom of the cliffs.. We're not actually committing anyone to the cliff face at this time, other than putting people on the rope work, so they can safely access the very edge of the cliff to look down onto the snow covered ledges and things, to maximise the probability of finding her.
Reporter:
At the same time Police Officers were searching the Bristol Downs, combing through woodlands looking for any sign of Joanna herself,or any of her possessions. This is one of the last images captured of Joanna Yeates taken by a CCTV camera, just hours before she disappeared.
The 25 year old is an architect, her colleagues are extremely concerned for her safety.
Keith Pavey [Building Design Partnership]
She's a lovely, bubbly, lively person, she's the life and soul, very well liked in the office, it's just totally out of character that she should do this.
Reporter:
Joanna was with her workmates on Friday evening, they went for a drink just before she disappeared.
Another Reporter:
Joanna left this pub in Park Street in Bristol on Friday evening around about 8;00 0'clock. It's believed that she then walked up the hill towards her home in Clifton.
Reporter:
Police say that she stopped at a Waitrose, then this Tesco express in Clifton on her way home.
Another Reporter:
Police know that Joanna arrived back here at her home in Clifton, because they found her Supermarket reciepts, but they have no idea what happened next.
Reporter:
Forensic Officers have spent a second day at the flat looking for clues we understand Joanna's purse, keys and phone were all inside.So far search teams have found nothing, but Joanna's friends and family are clinging on to the hope that she hasn't come to any harm. Nichola Pearson, BBC Points West

At the same time Police Officers were searching the Bristol Downs, combing through woodlands looking for any sign of Joanna herself, or any of her possessions.What possessions of Joanna Yeates were missing for them to start looking for them 2 days after she was reported Missing?
We find out in January 2011 about the Missing Sock, But this report is 2 days in to her disappearance, so what apparently were they looking for??
She wasn't dead at this point, so the Missing sock is irrelevant, what possessions of Joanna Yeates were the police trying to locate on the 22nd December 2010??
We have 2 days of forensics, meaning they started on the Flat on the 20th December 2010, when she was first reported Missing...
We also have the image of Joanna Yeates shopping in Waitrose as early as the 22nd December 2010,
This is one of the last images captured of Joanna Yeates taken by a CCTV camera, just hours before she disappeared.Hours before she disappeared??
What time was she supposed to have disappeared?? Hours?? What time did Joanna yeates go into Waitrose??
You have two options here.... Either the CCTV image from Waitrose is from earlier on in the day, or they have something to indicate that Joanna Yeates disappeared at a certain time... Hours after 8:00pm on Friday 17th December 2010.. If the CCTV is correct, then Dr Vincent Tabak could not have attacked her as has been stated, in the time frame given...
The reporter says:
Police say that she stopped at a Waitrose, then this Tesco express in Clifton on her way home. Telling us it was just after she left The Ram pub... So Where does hours later come from??
What time and date did Joanna Yeates disappear?? we have hours to consider and there must be something that indicates this..
We have receipts from 2 supermarkets that the Police found... We presume one is Tesco's, so where is the receipt from the other supermarket? Was it from Waitrose or somewhere else?? These receipts have never seen the light of day..
This video clip reveals quite a lot, being the first to tell us about 2 supermarkets and the intense forensic examination taking place for a Missing person..
Wonder what possessions they were looking for??
