Police investigate third possible sighting of missing Cumbernauld woman

Police are investigating a third potential sighting of 42-year-old Karen Stevenson who has been missing from Cumbernauld since Saturday 19 February

Officers are investigating a report that a woman, wearing a purple, black fur-hooded jacket was walking on the pathway, that backs onto Darroch Way, between 4.15am and 4.25am on the day Karen disappered.

As the woman in the purple jacket made her way through the underpass, which goes under Seafar Road, she passed another woman walking in the opposite direction. There was no interaction between the two women and officers are keen to establish who the lady in the purple jacket is.

Inspector Susan Rae said: “We need to confirm if this was Karen or if it was another woman, perhaps on her way to work or heading home. If you were in the underpass between 4.15am and 4.25am on Saturday morning, wearing a purple, black fur-hooded jacket, please contact us.

It’s vital we verify if this potential sighting was Karen or if we can rule it out as part of our ongoing enquiries to locate Karen.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3369 of 19 February.
