Missing midwife's sister in appeal to find 'best friend and partner in crime'
The sister of missing midwife Samantha Eastwood, who was last seen leaving work eight days ago, has made a tearful appeal for help in tracing her, saying: "We need you home where you belong."
Ms Eastwood was last seen in her uniform leaving work at Royal Stoke Hospital at 7.45am last Friday.
Her sister Gemma said the missing 28-year-old was "a happy, bubbly and smiley woman" as she appealed for any information about her "best friend and partner in crime".

"Without her, half of me has gone," she said.
"If she's out there, or anyone knows where she is, please get in touch."
The 28-year-old's colleagues raised concerns at 7.20pm last Friday after she failed to show up for her shift.
A 32-year-old Stoke man was arrested in connection with the disappearance but has since been released under investigation, Staffordshire Police said.
