No further details have been revealed by police.

Debra had lived for a period in Fylde, Lancashire, and earlier this year she spent two months in Murcia, Spain, before settling back in Stockport.

She is known as a knitting enthusiast who loved her family and would chat to anybody while she was out and about in Brinningto­n. Her family made a fresh appeal to find her after she vanished.

She was pictured on CCTV near Cohen’s chemist, at the junction of Northumber­land Road and Brinningto­n Road, at 10.20am.

The chatty mum - a well-known figure around Brinningto­n - hasn’t been seen since. She had told her husband Matthew she was going out to visit her daughter Emily but never turned up.

After she went missing, son Sam Routledge, 23, said: “She’s a chatty, outgoing person. “She would always stop and talk to somebody. “That’s why we think it’s odd there’s been nothing. Anybody who knows my mum knows she leaves an impression.

“You know you have spoken to her.”
