Vitoria Barreto disappeared after travelling through Brightlingsea, Essex, and has not been seen since, despite months of investigations and extensive searches.
The video released today (6 Jul) brings together CCTV footage and images gathered throughout the police investigation, tracing Vitoria’s movements on 3 March and into the early hours of 4 March.

It is hoped the newly-released footage will prompt someone to come forward with vital information, as reported by Need To Know.
“While significant investigative work has taken place over the past four months, we know that for those closest to Vitoria every day without answers is incredibly difficult,” said Essex Police Detective Superintendent Anna Granger.
“We remain in regular contact with Vitoria’s loved ones, both here in Essex and in Brazil and they continue to be updated on our enquiries and remain at the centre of everything we do.”
The 31-year-old had been staying in Southend and was last seen on 3 March.
She had boarded the number 87 bus in Wivenhoe after meeting a friend at the University of Essex and got off at Bellfield Avenue at around 1.30pm.
Vitoria was later captured on doorbell CCTV in the Hurst Green area just after 2.30pm.
She was reported missing the following day after failing to meet a friend.
Despite extensive searches and months of enquiries, her whereabouts remain unknown.
Det Supt Granger said: “120 days is a significant milestone, but for Vitoria’s family and friends we know it is yet another day without the person they love.
“Behind every appeal, every search and every enquiry is a family who continue to live with uncertainty.
“We know many people have followed Vitoria’s story since March.
“We are asking them not to forget her.
“The video we are releasing today brings together the chronology of Vitoria’s known movements and we hope it may prompt someone to remember something, however small, which could help us.”
Officers continue to review Vitoria’s phone and financial records alongside other lines of enquiry.
Det Supt Granger added: “Although these enquiries have been extensive, the information obtained so far has not provided evidence of any substantial or unexpected activity after Vitoria disappeared.
“That does not lessen our determination to find answers.
“We continue to explore every reasonable line of enquiry available to us and the public remain an important part of those enquiries.”
Anyone who remembers seeing Vitoria or who has information about her disappearance is urged to come forward.
