Police braved cold, rainy weather conditions to continue the search for missing Christchurch woman Emma Campbell today.

Two police officers and a woman believed to be a member of Campbell's extended family were searching through the bush near Dyers Pass Rd.

Campbell, 29, a carer, has not been seen since leaving her Bryndwr flat about 5.30am Sunday May 1.

She was seen on a Riccarton petrol station's security camera 10 minutes later.

Her blue 1994 Toyota Corona was found abandoned on Dyers Pass Rd, slightly damaged, on the Port Hills a short distance away about 7.30am.

Detective Senior Sergeant John Rae said the area in the vicinity of where Emma's car was found in Dyers Pass Road on 1 May and the forest to the north west of this site were re-checked today in a further effort to try and find out what happened to her.

"This search of an area had been planned for some time and this morning Search and Rescue staff and a member of the family covered an area down to the creek in the valley and some of the forest there.

"Unfortunately nothing was found to indicate Emma had been there or to show where she might have gone after her car left the road."
