Police Scotland is looking for help from the public to try and find a teenager missing from her home in Airdrie since Thursday 3 November 2016. Alanis Kyle, 19, left her home in Rockcliffe Path, Chapelhall, around 7 o'clock on Thursday morning, got into a taxi which took her to Airdrie Train Station, where she boarded the 7.20am train bound for Edinburgh. Alanis hasn’t been seen since and her family is growing increasingly concerned and reported her missing to police on Friday afternoon. Alanis is white, around 5 ft. 6 inches in height, with a medium build and short brown hair. It’s not known what she is wearing but she favours wearing dark coloured jeans and hooded tops. She also tends to carry a grey coloured Vans rucksack. Enquiries have revealed that she got off the train at Waverley Train Station around 0815am on Thursday morning. Officers continue to liaise with colleagues at British Transport Police and are linking in with family members and friends of Alanis in an effort to establish where she may have gone. CCTV footage continues to be gathered for review. Sergeant Ross Aitken said: “It’s out of character for Alanis not to be in touch with her family and they just want to know she is safe and well. If anyone has seen Alanis or has any information or knowledge as to her whereabouts, then please contact us and speak to officers at Coatbridge Police Office via the 101 number.”
