POLICE probing the disappearance of a missing Paisley mum are concerned she may have come to harm.

As reported by the Evening Times previously, 46-year-old Patricia Henry went missing from Girvan in November 2017.

Following her disappearance and the subsequent appeal, in June police cordoned off her former house in Burnfoot Crescent, Glenburn, to search the garden for clues.

With no fresh leads, police have been back out in force this week to try and help jog potential witnesses' memories and are appealing once more for information and assistance.

Patricia, who was reported missing in March 2018, lived in Paisley before relocating to Girvan in October 2017. Despite extensive enquiries no trace of her has been found.

The last independent sighting of Patricia was Monday, November 13 last year.

Detective Chief Inspector Suzanne Chow, of the Major Investigation Team, said: “One line of enquiry that I now must consider is the possibility that Patricia may have come to some harm.

"It’s important that we keep an open mind to all lines of enquiry but the distinct lack of information about Patricia is concerning. However, we cannot rule anything out at this point and officers will continue to follow up enquiries about where Patricia has been."

Since Patricia was reported missing, Police Scotland has been carrying out enquiries in both Renfrewshire and South Ayrshire.

Witnesses who remember seeing a white van travelling between Glenburn in Paisley and Girvan in South Ayrshire and in the area of Kirkwood Place in Girvan on November 15 and 16 and noted anything suspicious are being asked to get in touch with the police.

This week a number of officers have been in Girvan and Paisley and stopped and spoke with dozens of local people to try and jog their memories and find out if they remember seeing Patricia since November 2017. Updated posters of Patricia have been displayed.

Officers have also travelled on trains between Paisley and Girvan, which is a route police know Patricia often travelled since moving to Girvan.

DCI Chow added: "I am continuing to appeal to anyone who may have any information that can help find out what has happened to Patricia to get in touch."

Patricia is described as 5ft 10in, of slim build and with shoulder length hair which is usually tied back. She has a tattoo of a red rose and green stem with a cloud in the background and the name 'Patti' on her right arm and a tattoo of a dolphin on her hip. She usually wears a denim jacket.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Incident Room in Kilmarnock on 01563 505172. Details can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
