A body has been found in the search for a woman who went missing after she was last seen at a petrol station over the weekend.
Rachel Booth, 38, from Northwich, Cheshire, was reported missing in the early hours of Saturday after she was last seen by her family in the Barnton area of the market town.
The last sighting of her was at around 3.50am, around five miles away at the Sandiway garage on the A556 road.
