The search for missing woman 79-year-old Elisabeth has resumed today in Christchurch, after poor weather conditions paused search activity yesterday

Police Search and Rescue, along with volunteers from Land Search and Rescue, are out operating in the Fendalton and Riccarton areas.

Residents may notice an increased Police presence, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Elisabeth's loved ones are feeling increasingly concerned for her, and Police are still urging anyone with any information, no matter how small, to come forward.
