Forced into the search: Christine Murton’s disappearance in Suffolk
Christine Murton, a resident of Rushmere St Andrew in Suffolk, has not been seen since Wednesday, November 12. The disappearance has prompted a multi-agency response from local police and coastguard teams, with authorities urging the public to come forward with any information that could help locate her quickly and safely.
Extensive search operations intensify across Suffolk
In the days following her disappearance, authorities launched an expansive search effort that included the Coastguard, the Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue (SulSAR) team, and drone sweeps across key routes and potential access points. Police helicopters conducted aerial patrols to cover large areas and identify possible signs or disturbances in difficult terrain. The scale of the operation reflects the seriousness with which the case is being treated and the commitment to finding Christine as swiftly as possible.
What has been done so far
Updates from the police indicate a coordinated approach combining ground searches, air support, and technology. Specialist trained search teams moved through rural areas around Rushmere St Andrew and nearby communities, while drones scanned open fields, woodlands, and waterways that could be part of Christine’s movements. Coastguard involvement ensured sea and coastal routes were checked, adding a safety layer for any potential shoreline clues.
Appeal for information
With public assistance playing a critical role in missing-person cases, investigators have issued appeals for anyone who may have seen Christine or who has information about her activities in the days leading up to her disappearance. Details such as distinctive clothing, recent sightings, or unusual events could prove pivotal for investigators piecing together her last known movements.
How you can help

Anyone with information is urged to contact the local police, providing specific times, locations, or descriptions that could narrow the search and support officers in their inquiries.
What to expect next
As the inquiry continues, authorities expect to keep a strong on-the-ground and aerial presence across the region. Updates will be released by the police as new information becomes available, and the public will be notified if any changes to the search strategy occur.
