An abandoned car belonging to a couple who vanished has been found in West Sussex.

Bob and Barbara Dorey's car was found in Selsey with personal effects and the keys inside.

The pair disappeared in February from Bisley, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.

The body of Mr Dorey, age 60, was recovered from the English Channel, near Calais, on March 3.

However, no trace has yet been found of Mrs Dorey, age 59.

The pair had last been seen on February 12, when they left the Stirrup Cup pub in Bisley to go shopping in Gloucester.

Their grey Jeep Cherokee was discovered parked at the roadside near the beach at Selsey on March 30.

Acting Detective Inspector Geoff Brookes, who is leading the search for Mrs Dorey, said: "It would appear the vehicle had been there for five weeks and it had not been touched since initially being left.

"At this stage we are no closer to discovering what has happened to Mrs Dorey and we would appeal for any visitors to Selsey beach who may have seen this car and any activity near it to call us."

Anyone with information can contact Mr Brookes at Stroud police station on 0845 090 1234.
