Last updated 31st Jul 2017
Searches to find missing Seaton woman Nusrat Jahan are being extended today, to explore every possible route the 34-year-old may have taken on the night she went missing.
It has been four days since Nusrat was reported missing from her home in the Duff Street area of the city after a friend alerted Police of their concerns for her wellbeing.
Since Thursday extensive enquiries have been ongoing to track her last movements and establish her current whereabouts, including the use of resources on land, sea and air. The last confirmed sighting police have of Nusrat is at Marischal College at around 4pm on Thursday.
Local Area Commander Local Inspector Kevin Wallace said: "We are four days on from Nusrat being reported missing to Police and I don't think I need to stress that our concerns for her are growing.
"Extensive searches have been ongoing primarily in the Aberdeen beach area, where Nusrat intimated she was heading on Thursday night. We have also been carrying out searches in the Seaton area and Bridge of Don to ensure we are content that all potential routes Nusrat may have taken that night are covered.
"Today dive teams are carrying out coastal searches while a mountain rescue team is assisting us in carrying out an extensive search of the Links golf course stretching to Brig o' Balgownie.
"We have received a number of calls from the public offering assistance and potential sightings over the past few days and I would like to thank these people for their help.
"Once again I would also appeal to Nusrat to make contact with us if she sees this appeal. Many people are worried about you and want to know you are OK."
Nusrat is described as being around 5'3'' and of slim build, with dark hair. When last seen, she was wearing flat black slip on shoes, black leggings or skinny jeans, a light grey patterned top, black rimmed glasses and was using a white handbag with black band across the top.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 4045 of 27/07 or MP170702786.
