Police have again searched Christchurch’s red zone for missing woman Rowena Walker. 

Walker, 39, has been missing since August 14 last year. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Jo Carolan said the public may have noticed an increased police presence on Wednesday, September 23, as the search was undertaken.

Carolan said the search was “routine” and no further updates on Rowena’s whereabouts were available.

Police believe Walker has been “the victim of foul play and is no longer alive”, previous statements said. 

Walker’s partner has not been co-operating with police, a statement in June said.

Carolan urged him to “do the right thing” and speak to police. 

He was the last person known to have seen Walker.
