Sisters’ desperate plea for missing mother Victoria Taylor to return – as last known CCTV sighting released

Two sisters of a missing mother have issued a direct plea for her to come home, as detectives probing her disappearance have released new CCTV footage taken on the day she vanished. 

Bride-to-be Victoria Taylor has now been missing for nearly four days, forcing Emma Worden and Heidi Baker in desperation to break their silence to beg for her to get in contact. 

The pair began to sob as they told ITV: ‘Vicky, just come home. We just want her home. She’s got a little baby and her partner. We’re just so worried. If anyone knows anything, just let us know.’

Ms Taylor, who is a nurse, was last seen at her home in Malton, North Yorkshire, at 9am on Monday, prompting a major search. 

They continued: ‘She’s a very popular person. Obviously, she’s a nurse and looked after so many people’s parents round here.’
