Police Believe Body of A Woman Found in Clydebank is Missing Janet McKay
Police believe the body of a woman found in the Clydebank area at around 10.30 this morning is missing Janet McKay.
Formal identification has still to take place but her family has been informed.
A post mortem examination will be carried out to establish the exact cause of death. It is not being treated as suspicious.
Police undertook a large scale search operation in Clydebank after a sighting of the missing pensioner was confirmed in the area.
Dozens of officers and a number of police vehicles including vans and motorcycles searched the now demolished John Brown shipyard area near Clydebank College.
The wasteland area is close to where the 88-year-old dementia sufferer was reported to have been seen on the day she disappeared.
She was seen getting off the M11 First Bus onto Glasgow Road between 1.30pm and 2.30pm on Wednesday 16 September near to South Elgin Street.
Officers confirmed the reported sighting on CCTV yesterday evening between an hour and two hours later than she was seen leaving her home on Dykebar Avenue in Knightswood.
The lead came after officers returned to Knightwoods yesterday to question pedestrians and motorists and hand out leaflets exactly one week since Janet went missing.
