The family of missing Ayrshire woman Lisa Haining are pleading for her to come home.

50-year-old Lisa Haining vanished from her house in Dundonald in the early hours of the morning on Friday 20 January.

Now, one week on from her disappearance her husband and children are distraught, worried, and have begged for her to come home.

Family plea for 'beautiful soul' to come home

Lisa’s husband Craig Haining told Clyde 1: “All I want is for Lisa to come home. Emma, Gregor and Euan miss their mum very much and we all just want to make sure and for her to come back to us.

“If anyone has seen Lisa or has any information, please call the police

“If you knew her, she is what you would call a beautiful soul. Her whole life is her family, she is very proud, and she is one in a million.

“I’m hoping if she is with someone or whatever, she gets to see this and hear that all that matters is her being safe. Just come home and we can take it from there.”

Last sighting & 'distinctive' car description.

When Lisa vanished from her home in Dundonald, she took no personal belongings. She left her phone, purse and didn’t take any money.

She drove off in her car and neither her or the vehicle have been seen since. Police are stepping up their efforts to find the car.

Lisa was in the Castleview area of her native Dundonald shortly after midnight on Friday 20 January.

Her car is a white Renault Twingo with the registration SJ65 JXP.

Police believe the distinctiveness of the car can help people spot it.

It’s white, with two black stripes on either side, and also has some light damage to the fog light at the front.

Description

Lisa was last seen wearing black leggings, an olive-green shirt, brown jacket and white trainers.

She is described as 5ft in height and of slim build, with dyed blonde hair and darker roots.

'No tip is too small'

Inspector Ian McColl said: "We have no information to suggest that Lisa has come to any harm, although as time progresses our concern increases.

"The car is critical to our inquiry, and we need the eyes and ears of the public on this to help us locate it.

"If anyone who has outbuildings or lock-ups they may not have used in a while - please check them in case Lisa may be seeking shelter there.

"Nothing is too small for us to follow up on. Do not sit in the house and deem information insignificant - let us decide on that.

"And if anyone has information that may lead us to Lisa, and wants to speak to us anonymously, please do so.

"We are just looking for one small sign or signal that she's safe and well and that is a start. It will help put the minds of Craig and his family at rest, as they are understandably distraught."
