Chief Inspector Alisdair Dey, of York Safer Neighbourhood Command, said: ”If you have any information which could help to locate Megan, I urge you to contact the police straight away.

Police say the most likely scenario is that the York St John University student fell in the River Ouse while “affected by alcohol”, and admit the chances of finding her safe are now “increasingly remote”.

Anyone with information should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101.
