Rebecca, known as Becky, is believed to have left Ockley Park estate on foot at around 10am.

She has links to Burgess Hill, Horsham, Worthing, Devon and Dorset, according to cops.

Appealing for more information, Sussex Police described Becky as being 5ft 4in with shoulder-length brown hair.

It is not known what clothes she was wearing at the time of her disappearance, but she has a tattoo on her ankle.

Becky’s pal, Kerry Malby, said it was “out of character” for the “devoted” mum to disappear.

She told The Argus: “She’s a devoted mum and this is completely out of character. She wouldn’t just leave her children.

“We can’t understand it. In a very short space of time, she has just completely vanished.

“We’ve no idea if she left of her own accord or if she’s been taken. People can’t just vanish into thin air.”

Det Insp Chris May, of the West Sussex Missing Persons Team, said concerns were growing over Rebecca’s welfare.

She continued: “We are urging anyone who has seen or heard from her since Sunday morning to get in touch.

“Extensive enquiries are being completed including searches, house-to-house visits, and checks of CCTV and doorbell cameras in the area.

“Residents will see an increased police presence in the area while this is ongoing.

“We continue to ask the public to be vigilant and to report any possible sightings or pieces of information they believe may be relevant in helping us find Rebecca.”
