Police are today searching the surrounding area of Wild Shore Delamere water sports park in Northwich – which is around two miles away.
As concerns grow for her welfare, many questions have cropped up concerning the circumstances in which she vanished.
Where is mum-of-three Rachel Booth?
Rachel’s family reported her missing in the early hours of Saturday.
They last saw her in the village of Barton, where they live.
The “very active” mum had gone jogging and never returned.
An increasingly desperate search is ongoing to track Rachel’s movements and find her.
Locals said she has three boys in school and is “always pleasant” to talk to.

What was the “active” mum’s jogging route?
At 3.50am, Rachel was seen wearing black leggings and a black top.
CCTV showed Rachel in a Shell petrol station, on the A556.
This is nearly seven miles away from her home.
Issac Carolan, 19, who works at the garage, told The Sun: “I spoke to my colleague who had served her on Saturday morning.
He added: “But it didn’t seem weird, she didn’t seem disturbed or flustered.”
What did the neighbour capture her on her doorbell camera?
Cops have asked anyone who may have seen the missing mum to get in touch.
A family believes they sighted Rachel walking past their house five minutes after she was seen at the Shell garage.
A local mum said: “I am fairly sure it’s her that walked past my house at 3.55am. I have a video.”
