Reanne Coulson, 34, was last seen leaving a food bank near St Mary and Benedict Church in Coventry on May 21.
Specialist search teams, including police dogs, have been searching Binley Woods and other areas of land in neighbouring Warwickshire since Wednesday.
West Midlands Police say that “police intelligence” led them to the area.
A 38-year-old was detained just before 4pm on Wednesday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and remains in custody.
A 42-year-old man also remains in custody after being arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of Reanne’s murder.
In a fresh appeal for information, Reanne’s mother, Lynne Sparks said: “Is there anybody out there that knows anything about Reanne’s disappearance?”
“From one parent to another, you can only imagine how I’m feeling.
“Please come forward to give our family some closure.
“I just want my baby back.”
Reanne’s twin sister, Kirsten, said in the appeal on Monday that her sister was a sex worker and her life had “not been easy”.
She added it was “out of the ordinary” not to have heard from her.
Speaking at the scene of the search on Thursday, she said: “Words can’t describe the pain we are all feeling.
“She is my other half, my best friend, my everything.
“I am just broken in two. We have a bond like no other.
“Our family are desperate, and we need your help to find her, no matter what, just bring her home.”
Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, from the force’s Major Crime unit, said: “We are continuing to work flat out to find Reanne, and get the answers that her family so desperately need.
“I know there are people in Coventry that have information in relation to her whereabouts.
“I ask they come forward and speak with police, or look at others channels such as Crimestoppers – who they can speak to completely anonymously.
“We ask for any information from them that will alllow us to locate Reanne, who we now sadly believe is deceased.”
West Midlands Police said more than 100 officers are working to find Reanne and have viewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage.
They’ve taken over 50 statements from potential witnesses as part of the investigation.
