A desperate hunt has intensified for a missing British woman who vanished six weeks ago as her devastated family says they are “sick with worry”.
Holly Collinson, 29, travelled to Newquay earlier this year but has not contacted her family since March.
Her relatives have now released what they believe to be the most recent photograph of Holly in the hope somebody recognises her.

Holly, from Hinckley in Leicestershire, was last seen in Newquay on 25 March and was officially reported missing on 10 April after her family lost contact with her, as reported by Need To Know.
In an emotional Facebook appeal shared on the Bude Notice Board group, her aunt Sharon Bailey Collinson wrote: “Holly is still missing.
“A man had commented he’d spoken to her and she wanted to get to Bude.
“Please if anyone has seen her or anyone knows anything, ring the police or let us know she is safe.
“Our family are sick with worry.”
Police enquiries are continuing in both Cornwall and Leicestershire.
Devon and Cornwall Police are now leading the investigation after information suggested Holly may still be in Cornwall.
Earlier appeals also stated Holly was seen leaving Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro at around 10:10am on 31 March.
She is described as white, around 5ft 7ins tall and of slim build.
Holly was previously believed to have long coloured dreadlocks, but relatives now think she may have removed them.
The Human Rights Association – an initiative linked to the WeCare Foundation – has also renewed calls for an “intensified” search effort.
HRA chairman Saad Kassis-Mohamed said: “Holly has been missing for six weeks. Her family have heard nothing.
“Devon and Cornwall Police now believe she is still in Cornwall.
“That means there are people in that county who may have seen her, who may have spoken to her, who may have helped her in some way, and who may not yet have contacted the police.
“The HRA calls on every one of those people to come forward now. Holly’s family need to know she is safe. She must be found.”
Anyone with information about Holly’s whereabouts is urged to contact Devon and Cornwall Police on 101, quoting Leicestershire Police incident reference 623 of 10 April.
