Police have been searching the steep sides of a gorge in Bristol in the hunt for a newborn baby whose mother left hospital with the infant on Tuesday evening.
Officers had been looking for missing Charlotte Bevan for almost 24 hours before a body was found in the Avon Gorge below the suburb of Clifton late on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old had walked out of Bristol Maternity Hospital wearing no coat and hospital slippers.
Police have said the family of Ms Bevan have been told that a body was found.
Official identification is expected to take place today.
Sky's Siobhan Robbins, who is in Clifton, said officers have been abseiling down the sides of the gorge and searching the undergrowth with sticks all morning.
They are attempting to locate Zarnee Teanna, who would now be six days old.
Police have also been using sniffer dogs, horses and a helicopter in the search.
Robbins added: "There is no evidence found as to where those two went.
"If the sad news is confirmed that the body that was found is that of Charlotte Bevan, then no one knows the situation surrounding her baby and so it's of paramount importance that police try and find out where that infant is."
Ms Bevan was filmed on CCTV walking out of the hospital between 8.30pm and 9pm on Tuesday carrying the baby, which was wrapped only in blankets.
A police spokesman said: "The police helicopter remains in the area to assist the continuing searches by police officers on the ground."
The baby's father Pascal Malbrouck told a news conference on Wednesday that he was very concerned about Ms Bevan as she had suffered from mental health problems.
Robbins said another line of enquiry is focusing on the possibility that Ms Bevan may have stopped taking medication for the mental illness because she was breastfeeding.
