POLICE have released an unrecognisable mugshot of a woman who vanished a month ago as they continue to search for her.
The woman – named only as Claire by police – went missing from Barnsley in South Yorkshire on June 11 at around 1pm.
The new photo is a stark contrast to the image the police used at the time of her disappearance.
She was last seen in the Silkstone area of the town on June 24 between 2.30pm and 3pm.
Officers described Claire as a white woman, 5ft 4ins tall, with long dark brown hair shaved at the sides.
She was last seen wearing grey trousers, a grey or mint green jumper and a long black gilet with the hood up.
Police shared the mugshot image on X earlier this month and appealed to the public for any information.
A week later, South Yorkshire Police released a new image which showed Claire looking younger as they hoped to “jog anyone’s memories”.
A police spokesperson said: “We are sharing a new, clearer photograph we have of Claire, which has been taken from her Facebook account.
“Although this photo is old, we are sharing this image in the hope it will aid our ongoing investigation.”
It comes after the force revealed photos of a woman believed to be Claire walking with her hood up along the side of the road.
