POLICE are searching for a missing Scottish woman who hasn’t been seen for a week.
Donna Patterson, from Midlothian, was last seen on Friday, March 22 in the Lingerwood Road area of Newtongrange, officers said.
The 38-year-old has not been seen since, and was reported missing to police on March 27.
Patterson is described as being around 5ft 5 inches in height with a slim build. She has long, red to auburn hair tinted with purple streaks.
Police said they have no information on what she could be wearing.
Officers also said they have carried out “extensive enquiries,” linking in with family and friends and checking relevant CCTV images, however, Patterson has yet to be traced.
Inspector Keith Watson said: “It is very unlike Donna not to be in touch with her mum and family and our concern is growing.
“I am appealing to anyone who may have seen Donna or who has any information as to where she could be to get in touch with us.
“Her family is understandably concerned and just want her home safe.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1438 of March 27, 2024.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
