Despite a family appeal a fortnight ago Amanda Hawkins from Darlaston has still not returned home.

The 44 year-old was last seen travelling on a bus in Brownhills on May 30 and police have been carrying out extensive searches.

Her family issued an appeal earlier this month in a bid to find her:

Amanda is described as white, 5ft 2in and of a large build, with shoulder-length straight auburn hair, blue eyes and has a local accent.

Earlier this month her relatives urged people to check outbuildings, garages and gardens for her.

Up to 30 officers have been involved in the search. She has a history of memory loss and going missing, but only usually for days at a time, with police admitting they are 'gravely concerned' for her welfare.The West Midlands Police force has worked alongside their colleagues in Staffordshire to check areas she has been found before such as Stafford and Lichfield.

Anyone with information should call Walsall police on 101.
