‘If anyone has any information concerning Christina’s disappearance, please call 0161 856 973 quoting Operation Darwent.’
Police sparked a desperate search for Ms Rack when she vanished without a trace after leaving the home she shares with daughter Lola and son Jacob.
Specialist teams searched the area near her home, Chorlton Meadows, and the nearby Sale Water Park but they found no clues.
She had been on the phone to her son, who was out walking in the area and she had agreed to go out and meet him and walk the dog when she was last seen.
It was thought she planned to meet him at a bench but she was tragically never seen again.
It is understood Christina left the house without the medication she was taking for mental health issues.
