The loved ones of missing deaf woman Kirsty Aitchison are telling Clyde News they're "very hopeful" of finding her alive.

The 30 year old mum-of-four was last seen in the early hours of Sunday - she was traced on CCTV walking on the Broomielaw after leaving the Campus bar on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.

Police divers are now searching the River Clyde - where our Chief Reporter Linda Sinclair met Kirsty's distraught mum Faye, and her friend Elaine:

Police frogmen combed the waters for around two hours as part of their investigation.

Last night friends from the deaf community searched Robroyston Park close to Kirsty's home.

Inspector Leigh McManus from Greater Glasgow Division said, “We have managed to track her route from Sauchiehall Street down to Argyle Street and then on to the Broomielaw at the River Clyde. From CCTV we can see that Kirsty had taken her shoes off and was walking quickly and with purpose.

“There is no suggestion that Kirsty entered a taxi or any vehicle although we are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen her walking down to the Broomielaw and then crossing over the road.

“Indeed, we are looking for people to get in contact if they know where she may have then gone.

“Officers are carrying out enquiries in the city centre and the public are urged to approach them with any concerns. I am urging anyone with information to get in touch with officers at Shettleston Police Office through 101 or by contacting us through the dedicated email address kirstyenquiry@scotland.pnn.police.uk.”
