Police searching for the body of missing Emma Faulds say finding further information on the movements of two cars is central to their investigation.
The appeal came as officers set up a facility allowing members of the public to send mobile phone and dash cam footage directly to the inquiry team.
Ms Faulds, 39, from Kilmarnock, was last seen on the evening of April 28 in Monkton, Ayrshire.
A man has appeared in court charged with her murder.

In a statement, the force said: “Detectives believe the movements of these cars are central to the investigation and are appealing for the public’s help in trying to find out more about them.”

“I am thankful to members of the public who have been in touch and have provided us with valuable information which has led us to explore this area.
“I believe the A714 route is key to helping us find Emma and I am appealing again to those who use this route regularly, please take time to think back and consider if you saw a Mercedes or Jaguar car on this road or parked up somewhere, or even off road.
“If you have dash cam footage, please take the time to go through and check it. You may not realise it but you could have captured footage of the vehicles in these locations which could provide us with vital information and assist us in finding Emma.”
