Police continue to search for missing mother, daughter in Whitby, Ont.

Durham police continued their search Saturday for two women who went missing in Whitby earlier this week.

Police said 58-year-old Ava Burton and her 85-year-old mother, Tatilda Noble, disappeared from their home on Scepter Place Thursday afternoon.

A concerned family member called officers to the home for a wellness check, police said. However, officers did not locate Burton and Noble in the residence but found evidence they deemed suspicious.

Police did not provide specific details on what they discovered inside.

After being granted a search warrant, forensic investigators entered the home Friday evening to begin their probe.
