Police are continuing the search for missing Christchurch real estate agent Yanfei Bao today.
It's been eight weeks since the Christchurch mum, aged 44, went missing. Despite extensive searches her body has yet to be found.
With the assistance of the specialist search group, police were out searching Hudsons Road and areas in Greenpark today.
Police said that a number of areas would be searched which have been identified in preparation.
The Hudsons Road area was last searched on August 8 with the Greenpark area being a focus of efforts since then.
