The search today resumes for 56-year-old Ausra Plungiene, who was reported missing on Tuesday after she left for a walk with her dog Eyora in Snowdonia but failed to return home. Mountain rescue teams and RAF Search and Rescue are looking for her in the Carneddau mountains.
A search across Eryri National Park was launched after the alarm was raised shortly before 10pm on Tuesday.
Her car was found in a remote car park in the Rowen area in the early hours of Wednesday, North Wales Police said. In a fresh appeal for information, Superintendent Owain Llewelyn said:"We are very concerned for Ausra's welfare." He said searches had continued in the Carneddau area despite extremely difficult weather conditions, including snow and gale force winds, and would resume at first light on Thursday.
It is believed Ms Plungiene may have been wearing a dark pink or purple padded jacket, black leggings and blue shoes.
