Police are continuing to search the park where a missing student's handbag was found.
Karen Buckley, 24, from Cork in Ireland, left a Glasgow nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning and went with a man to a flat, where she spent several hours.
She has not been seen since, but her handbag was discovered in the city's Dawsholm Park on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers have said they are "gravely concerned" for her wellbeing.
Miss Buckley, whose disappearance is said to be completely out of character, was last seen on CCTV talking to a man outside the Sanctuary nightclub in Dumbarton Road.
The pair travelled in the man's car to his flat in Dorchester Avenue, in the Kelvinside area of the city. It is said that she left the flat at about 04:00 on Sunday and was planning to walk back to her flat in Hill Street, close to the city centre.
The two addresses are about four miles apart.

A handbag which officers believe belongs to Miss Buckley was found in Dawsholm Park, near Dorchester Avenue, on Tuesday afternoon.
The entrance to the park remained cordoned off on Wednesday morning as dozens of officers continued searching the area.
[Miss Buckley] arrived at the Sanctuary nightclub with friends at about 23:45 on Saturday and at about 01:00 she told them she was going to the toilet. She failed to return and did not take her jacket.
Her friends have said Miss Buckley had had a few drinks, but was not drunk.
Speaking on Tuesday, Det Supt Jim Kerr, from Police Scotland's major investigations team, said: "We've traced the man she was with in Dorchester Avenue. He believes he was intimate with her at his flat consensually in the early hours of Sunday."
The police officer added: "From what we can see, she does not appear to be under duress, there's no signs of a struggle or reluctance on her part to leave the club.
"However, that does not mean that something untoward has happened to her at a later stage."
Police are also keen to find out more about a grey car that was seen on the roads between Milngavie and Drymen north of Glasgow between 11:00 and 15:00 on Monday.
Det Supt Kerr said: "The activity of this grey car on the Monday is something that we're a wee bit concerned about. This car has been seen at various locations on these roads and I want to know why."
