Concerns are escalating regarding Helen’s safety, with several rumored sightings reported throughout the county.

The 59-year-old was last seen in a Costa Coffee at a busy train station.

Helen was reported missing after she departed from Maidstone Hospital on Hermitage Lane on September 16.

CCTV footage was released initially, showing her outside the hospital wearing pink jogging pants and a black jacket with a fur-lined hood.

Authorities believe she boarded a bus intending to return to Pembury, approximately 13 miles away.

However, a frantic search was initiated after she disembarked the bus at an earlier stop in Wateringbury and disappeared.

Kent Police have urged locals to review dashcam and doorbell camera footage to assist in tracing Helen’s movements between 4 PM and 6 PM.

Det Sgt Angela Holder stated: “We are particularly interested in routes that Helen may have taken around Bow Road and near the train station.

“We are also appealing to anyone who may have been in Teston Country Park to see if they recognize Helen from these images.”

Following the urgent appeals, officers received reports of possible sightings in Dover and Ramsgate.

Yesterday, additional CCTV footage of Helen was released, showing her in a Costa Coffee at Maidstone East railway station.

Helen enters the café, removes her jacket, and approaches the counter.

She is believed to be wearing the same outfit she had on when last seen outside the hospital.

In a description provided by the police, she is approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, of slim build, with blue eyes and short brown hair.

DS Holder added: “We remain very concerned for Helen’s welfare.

“It is possible she may be traveling across various parts of Kent or may have even left the county.

“The most recent CCTV footage recovered shows Helen inside the Maidstone café.

“We urge the public to review the video as it clearly depicts Helen’s features and clothing.”

Police have requested that anyone with critical information regarding Helen’s whereabouts should call 999, quoting reference 16-0917.

Any other information can be reported via 101.
