“I know she is going through things in her life - I just want her to get in touch.

“I have been driving up and down service stations to try and find her.”

Samantha, who has a 21 -year-old daughter and a four-month-old grand daughter, has six sisters and four brothers.

Philip said: “We are trying to keep strong for each other.

He added: “She has been my rock and has been supportive through hard times.

“I really appreciate everything people have done to help us. Social media has been a great help.

“It has gone global - even our family and friends in Australia are doing what they can to help.
