The family of a missing woman from Dundee say they're completely bewildered by her disappearance.

Lynn McPaul has been missing for almost two weeks and was last spotted in the Strawberry Bank area of Dundee on Sunday January 23rd.

Officers are reviewing CCTV and continue to ask anyone who may have private CCTV or doorbell footage that may show anything, who has not already been in touch, to do so.

Lynn’s family have asked for their privacy to be respected and have issued the following statement:

“Lynn is a home loving mum, with a tight knit group of friends, she is missed terribly by all her family and friends, who are bewildered by her unexpected disappearance.

“She is friendly and approachable and would go out of her way to help others. Please if anyone has seen her or has information on her whereabouts, please contact Police Scotland.”

Lynn is described as white, around 4ft 11ins, with long brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a black knee-length padded Nike coat with the logo on the front and back.

Inspector Keith Anderson said: “Lynn’s family are becoming increasingly concerned as this is completely out of character and they just want her to get in touch so they know she is safe.

“We are using all the resources available to us to try to find Lynn, including officers conducting house to house enquiries, specialist search teams, and our local Police Scotland Youth Volunteers (PSYV) who are assisting with leaflets. Extensive CCTV work is also being undertaken.

“Searches are ongoing and I am asking the community for help and urging anyone with information about Lynn or where she may be, to get in touch. Please call us if you have something that may assist with our enquiries, no matter how small that information might seem, it could help.”

Anyone who can assist is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0157 of Sunday, 24 January, 2022.
