Constance Marten: Missing aristocrat’s partner is convicted rapist – live

More than 200 police officers are involved in the search for Constance Marton, her partner Mark Gordon and their newborn baby.

The Metropolitan Police said officers have so far scanned more than 200 hours of CCTV footage.

Police said the missing couple knew how to evade the authorities, which made the search more difficult.

It recently emerged that Mr. Gordon is a convicted rapist who was jailed in America.

The pair were last confirmed on 7 January, two days after their disappearance, on CCTV at London’s East Ham station.

Police have insisted the newborn baby of Constance Marton and Mark Gordon has not been seen by a doctor for weeks, as officers issued their latest appeal for the missing family.

Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford of the Metropolitan Police, who is leading the investigation, said: “It is almost two weeks now since Mark and Constance’s car broke down on the M61 near Bolton and they were walking with a newborn baby at the time.

“As far as we know, neither Constance nor the baby have received medical attention since birth. Our priority is to ensure the baby, and indeed both Constance and Mark, are safe and well.

“Once again, I appeal directly to you Constance and Mark. Please do the right thing for your child and contact us so we know you’re okay.”

DS Basford said the couple were last seen in East Ham in the London Borough of Newham more than a week ago.

Police have said Constance Marten and Mark Gordon have enough cash on hand to allow them to live off-grid.

The daughter of an aristocrat, the convicted rapist and her child were left with no belongings after a car fire destroyed most of their belongings, and are using cash to pay for taxis and places to stay.

The couple are understood to have lived separate lives since meeting in 2016, with Ms Marten, then a drama student, breaking ties with family and friends.

Last September, he began moving around the country, renting AirBnBs for brief periods before going missing after abandoning his car on January 5.

He was seen in Colchester and further inquiries revealed that he took a taxi to East Ham station, where he was seen between 10.30am and 12.30pm on Saturday 7 January.

East London station was where he was last confirmed to have been seen.

A woman who says she was friends with Constance Marten at drama school says the aristocrat’s daughter characteristically lost touch.

Friend told, ‘I tried to contact him many times the sunday times, “On Facebook, and on my phone, but he never replied. It was so different from him. I was very upset after that.”

A former classmate at East 15 Drama School told the paper Ms Marton was a promising actress at the school.

“She was just beautiful, full of life, full of kindness… and she was very, very talented. Just a stunning person inside and out. I was really bowled over by her,” he said.

Andy Gregory Walks through the roots of Constance Marten, the aristocrat’s daughter missing with her child:

Constance Marten, 35, is the granddaughter of Mary Anna Marten, a British museum trustee whose godmother was the late Queen Mother, and who owned the Critchell estate in Dorset.

Her paternal grandparents were Toby Marten, a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy, and his wife Mary Anna, who had close ties to the royal family, attending the Brownie Pack at Buckingham Palace with Princess Margaret in her youth.

A noted archaeologist, Ms Marton was awarded an OBE in 1980 and nine years later was appointed High Sheriff of Dorset. He was also made a Trustee of the British Museum and traveled widely to aid his profession, making frequent visits to Iran and 30 trips to Russia.

The late couple and their family lived at the huge Critchell House – which has been used as the backdrop for several period dramas, including Emma starring Gwyneth Paltrow—whose ownership became the center of an infamous political scandal in the wake of World War II.

He was survived by five daughters and one son, Napier Marten, who was a page to Queen Elizabeth II. In 1996 he took a spiritual search trip to Australia, later returning to work as a tree surgeon near Critchell House.
