Nicola Urquhart said she was concerned other lines of enquiry had not been followed up after the search focused on a landfill site in Milton, Cambridgeshire.
Speaking to Sky News, Mrs Urquhart said: 'We have had various calls suggesting a crime, but when we passed them on to police they took little action to follow them up.
'I spoke to the senior investigating officer two weeks ago and mentioned one call that we alerted them to, but she said she knew nothing about it.'
