Cumbernauld woman missing after night out in Dumfries

People living near the River Nith in Dumfries are being asked to check garden sheds and out houses for any sign of Cumbernauld woman Lynn Tyeson.

The 48 year old went missing in the South of Scotland town in the early hours of Sunday 29 July 2018 after a night out with friends.

Major searches have already taken place along the River Nith and downstream towards the Solway Estuary town and divers from Police Scotland’s Marine Unit are carrying our searches in a number of areas, including the Caul and Devorgilla Bridge.

She was last seen around 3am on Sunday 29 July 2018, in the Whitesands area.

She's described as white, has a slim build and blonde shoulder length hair and was wearing a black and white striped top, black skinny trousers, and black sandals.

Inspector Alan McGowan, who is currently managing the search said: “We are now appealing to those who live along the sides of the River Nith to take a few minutes out to have a look in sheds and outbuildings on their property just in case Lynn has taken shelter there.

"We have a large number of officers searching along the sides of the river at this time and will be checking gardens and other areas in this search.

“We are still keen to hear from anyone who may have spoken to Lynn in Dumfries in the early hours of Sunday morning, and again would like to hear from a dog walker who had two small dogs and who was in the area of the Mill Green around this time.

“Anyone with any information as to her whereabouts is asked to contact us via 101.
