A £10,000 reward has been offered for help to find a missing baby as 200 police officers continue the search for the tot. Detectives today said the risk to the infant’s welfare is “as high as it’s been in the investigation” as they search the Sussex undergrowth.
The police search for Marten, 35, and Gordon, 48, began on January 5 when their car was found on fire abandoned next to the M61 in Bolton.
They used taxis to first travel to Liverpool, then Harwich in Essex, and on to east London, before arriving in Sussex on January 8.
The couple avoided detection by only making payments in cash, hiding their faces on CCTV and often moving around at night or in the early hours of the morning.
They were finally arrested at about 9.30pm on Monday.
Since Marten and Gordon were arrested, more than 200 police officers have been engaged in the search for the two-month-old, using sticks to wade through bushes in woodland near Stanmer Villas and Golf Drive, Brighton.
