One local said they noticed a strong police presence build up around the river near Benejuzar.
Janet, who originally comes from Redhill, Surrey, left her home in Jacarilla on the Spanish Costa Blanca at around 7pm while wearing a colourful printed dress.
The Spanish Civil Guard have since released a CCTV image of her being served in a shop just before she vanished.
Janet’s husband said she did not have her mobile phone or any cash with her.
According to reports, Janet was last sighted walking by the river towards the town of Benejuzar at around 8.40pm.
Jacarilla council have made a fresh appeal for anyone with information to contact the police.
A statement read: “In an update today Jacarilla Town Hall said: ‘Janet is still missing. The photo on the right shows what she was wearing on the day she disappeared.
“This image was taken in a local business hours before she disappeared.
“The Guardia Civil is still searching. She was last seen on Friday, May 30, around 8.40pm, along the river towards Benejuzar.”
Locals have since jumped onto social media to share their support.
One expat said: “Aww, I knew Janet when we lived in Jacarilla, I hope she’s found safe and well.”
Another said : “Oh dear, I know Janet. I hope she is found soon.”
Whilst a third said: “I hope they find her safe and sound because I’ve been there and I know how bad the area is.”
