Cops trawl woods in search of missing mum-of-five Sarah Wellgreen after she vanished 11 days ago
A man in his 30s was arrested and released after three days of questioning pending further enquiries
COPS hunting a mum of five missing for 11 days trawled woods yesterday amid mounting fears for her.
Sarah Wellgreen’s last confirmed sighting was in her hometown on October 9 — after she left her car outside her house.
Police used drones and dogs to comb an area of woods they cordoned off near the home Sarah, 46, shares with her three young kids.
A shoe has been taken away for tests.
The missing mum was at one time in a relationship with cabbie Ben Lacomba, 38, whose Facebook profile says he is a fan of Nerf gun games.
An arrested man in his 30s — who cops quizzed for nearly three days — was freed yesterday pending further enquiries.
Police also spent several days at Sarah's home in New Ash Green, Kent, and trawled dating sites and Facebook for clues.
The beauty therapist’s eldest son Lewis Burdett, 22, wrote on Facebook: “We’re incredibly worried and miss her so much it hurts.
“All we want is for her to come back. She’s never done anything like this before.”
He said she was “happy, had no problems” and was “delighted at a new job”.
Appealing for information, he said the ordeal had badly hit her youngest kids — a lad, 12, and a boy and girl, both six.
He said: “I can’t imagine how hard this must be for them to understand what’s going on.”
Sarah, thought to have wed three times, is originally from Portsmouth.
