A sad update regarding missing veteran, Shannon:

"As part of our investigation to locate missing North Tyneside woman Shannon, we are now able to confirm that we believe she has entered the water off the coast at South Shields.
Shannon, aged 56, was last seen in the Cheshire Grove area of the town late on Friday, October 9."

Our thoughts go out to Shannon's family and friends.
