Police searching for missing Margaret MacDermott make three appeals for witnesses
Police searching for missing Newcastle woman Margaret MacDermott are making three specific appeals for potential witnesses to come forward. Margaret MacDermott, who is 50, and from Bolbec Road in Fenham was last seen around 11pm on Friday, February 12, at her home address. On Saturday, February 13, her car was located near to the Eye on the Tyne pub, Newcastle Quayside, and CCTV enquiries showed Margaret had parked it there around 5am that morning.
The footage showed her getting out of her car, crossing the road and walking along the river towards the Millennium Bridge where she stopped and paused. From this point there is no further CCTV footage of her. One possibility is that Margaret may have entered the River Tyne. From our enquiries we have identified three possible witnesses who were in the Quayside area around the time Margaret was there on Saturday February 13. We are appealing for these people to get in touch with us so we can speak to them and find out if they have any information that might help us with our search.
