A Cleveland Police spokesperson said: "Since our last appeal, officers now have CCTV footage of a woman with a pushchair, who appears to have met with Gee on the platform of the hospital train station between 12pm and 1:30pm that same day.

"They appear to board a train together to Middlesbrough, then together board another train, which travels to Darlington.

"They both get off at Darlington and go their separate ways on the platform. The woman can be seen leaving Darlington train station without Gee, pushing a pushchair and heading towards Yarm Road and the town centre of Darlington.(Image: Cleveland Police)
