Cops have extended their search and underwater specialists are now scouring a river – while drones have also been deployed.
Victoria’s last route is thought to have seen her head to a library on Commercial Street, from her home in Malton, where she was last seen around 9am on September 30.
A Facebook group has been set up as part of the search effort for the 34-year-old, with members putting up missing person posters.
One person said: “She left her home at 9am Monday morning.
“Someone saw her around that time walking up Commercial Street towards the library but no sightings since then as far as I’m aware.”
Another friend wrote: “Surely someone can ping her phone to see where her last location was?”
Others responded that they had tried to message her.
One said: “I randomly messaged her… it’s not delivered, just says sent.”
Another said Victoria’s phone now just goes straight to voicemail.
It comes after her sister pleaded: “My beautiful sister, please come home, Vicki.”
She also wrote: “If anyone has seen or heard from Vixx please get in touch as we are all worried sick.”
Victoria is described as white and approximately 5ft 6 in height.

She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a black Adidas original puffa jacket with white stripes down the sleeves and a grey Jack Wills hooded jumper.
North Yorkshire Police said members of the public should expect to see an increased police presence in Malton.
“Today, searches of the riverbanks will take place by our specialist underwater search team,” they added.
Inspector Leanne Anderson said: “There are a range of enquiries taking place to try and locate Victoria.
“This is still a missing person enquiry, and the focus of our activity is within the Malton / Norton area.
“Extensive searches will take place today and I would urge members of the public in the Malton / Norton areas to remain vigilant and report sightings or pass information to police immediately on 101 or 999.”
