Police are continuing with searches to find a woman who has been missing from Maidstone for almost a month. Recent appeals to help locate Helen Eade have led to potential sightings of the 59-year-old in areas including Dover and Ramsgate.
Helen was originally reported missing on Tuesday 16 September, after leaving Maidstone Hospital in Hermitage Lane. In the weeks that followed enquiries led officers to track her movements to a Costa Coffee premises at Maidstone East train station, which she briefly visited on 28 September.

She doesn’t drive and enquiries have established she made a return bus journey from the hospital to Pembury, but on the way back got off the bus in Wateringbury.
Detective Sergeant Angela Holder said: ‘We remain very concerned for Helen’s welfare and it is possible she may be travelling across several parts of Kent or may even have left the county. The most recent CCTV recovered is footage of Helen inside the Maidstone Costa Coffee. The footage is of higher quality than previously obtained images and we are urging people to look at the video, which clearly shows Helen’s features and clothing.’
Helen is white, around 5ft 9in, of slim build and has blue eyes and short brown hair. She was last seen wearing pink jogging bottoms, a grey hooded top and a black Parka style jacket with a fur hood.
