Specialist police officers are continuing to scour the River Don in Aberdeenshire for Hazel Nairn who was swept away last week.
The 71-year-old was last seen in the water near Monymusk at around 3pm on Friday, November 18, after getting into difficulty while reporting trying to rescue her pet dog amid torrential rain.
Her beloved pet’s body was found near the river earlier this week, however extensive search efforts remain ongoing to find the pensioner.
On the one-week anniversary of her disappearance, officers scoured the river between Kintore and Dyce.
Marine divers, sniffer dogs and a police helicopter have also been used during the major recovery mission.
Inspector Rhona Di Meola said: “Since Hazel was last seen extensive police searches have been carried out, including the use of the police helicopter and specialist resources.
“Every effort is being made to find her as we know how distressing this is for her family and friends.”
