The couple admits they feel overwhelmed by people’s huge efforts to find their missing daughter every day in the rugged terrain of mid-Wales.

"Since October 1, we have received messages, flowers and cards from across not only the UK but the world and we have taken comfort knowing that people are thinking of April and us.

 

“Thank you for all your kind words and sentiments.”

 

As the search continues, the couple and the community are reportedly still hopingthat April will be found alive.
