Police searching for missing 57-year-old Tracey Smith have renewed their appeal for sightings of her and her black Fiat Panda.
Tracey, from the Stokesley area, has not been seen since July 24.
North Yorkshire Police said enquiries had established that she left her home in her black Fiat Panda, registration WR10 ETK, and finding the vehicle is now a key priority in the investigation.
Officers believe the car could still be in the local area and are asking people using more remote parts of the Cleveland and North Yorkshire border, North York Moors and Cleveland Hills to look out for it.
Walkers, runners, hikers, cyclists, climbers and others visiting the countryside are particularly being urged to remain vigilant.
Inspector Ciaran Conlon, of Hambleton and Richmond Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing to help find Tracey whose disappearance continues to be of great concern to us and her friends and family.
“Finding her black Fiat Panda is one of the key priorities in our search and I appeal to everyone who enjoys the local area to keep an eye out for it – from local beauty spots to the more remote areas of the national park.”
The inspector also appealed directly to Tracey to contact police, her family or friends to confirm she is safe.
Police said there remained a possibility that Tracey had travelled to London by other means, which continues to be investigated.
However, officers believe her Fiat Panda remains in the local area and say finding it could provide a clearer picture of her movements.
Tracey is described as white, 5ft 5in tall and of slim build, with shoulder-length blonde hair and a small mole above her lip. It is not known what she was wearing when she disappeared.
Anyone who sees Tracey or her car, or knows where she is, should call 999.
Anyone with other information which could help the search should call 101, quoting reference 12260154127.
