Hundreds of volunteers spent the weekend searching for missing South African woman Kerry Winter, who was beat by her estranged British boyfriend and dumped in the desert over two weeks ago.

The search party on Friday combed the streets of Dubai wearing T-shirts with "Help us find Kerry" written on them and handing out flyers in English and Urdu appealing for anyone that has seen Winter, 35, to come forward.

Winter's estranged boyfriend, Mark Arnold, has been arrested by police and questioned over her disappearance. Arnold, from the Midlands, is the director of a Middle East design company.

Arnold flew to the UK two days after Winter disappeared on Aug. 20. He was arrested by police upon his return three days later.

According to family members of Winter who have spoken to Arnold, the 42-year-old has admitted to beating her with a baseball bat but said he cleaned up her wounds and dropped her off on the side of the road in the desert.

Friends of Winter have portrayed Arnold as obsessive, possessive and jealous, and said Winter had accused her ex-boyfriend of stalking her and that she was forced to move home three times.

Yea, I completely agree with Mr. Graham Plater. It is always imperative to see what a missing person looks like especially when such cases could mean life or death !

Show us her face

I hate stating the obvious, but - why don't you show us a photo of Kelly Winter instead of Sheikh Zayed Road? If hundreds of people are looking for her because she needs help, it might make the difference between life and death.
