Police make another appeal for information about Rushworth on the three-month anniversary of her disappearance. Police say they are growing increasingly concerned about Rushworth, who has been missing for two months. Detective Chief Inspector Jon Hoyle says: “We believe Sue was trying to get hold of drugs on the day she went missing that Sue was working as a sex worker and that Sue suffered from epilepsy and we do not believe she had medication with her.” Saturday 22 August Police make a fresh appeal for information a month after Rushworth’s disappearance and outline three areas of concern. He says his close family are not coping well. At a West Yorkshire police news conference he says his mother had no reason to go missing and urges people to get in touch.
