The aristocrat Constance Marten and her partner were arrested in Brighton on Monday on suspicion of child neglect after several weeks avoiding the police, but the child was not with them.
Constance Marten and Mark Gordon have been further arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter as their baby remains missing.
Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford said police had to consider the possibility that the child had “come to harm”, given the pair had now been in custody for a “significant period of time”. They used taxis to first travel to Liverpool, then Harwich in Essex, and on to east London, before arriving in Sussex on January 8.
Mr Basford said there was sufficient intelligence to suggest Marten and Gordon had spent most of their time in outdoor open spaces while avoiding police.
