More searches for Khasha
Officers conducting enquiries to locate missing woman Khasha Smith began searching an area off Calder Road in Edinburgh on Wednesday, 4 September, 2024.
The work includes specialist search trained officers as part of the investigation to locate Khasha who went missing almost a year ago, aged 35.
Extensive enquiries have been carried out but Khasha is still a missing person. We are continuing to support her family throughout this time.
Khasha was last seen to be safe and well on Tuesday, 10 October, 2023. She has never gone missing before.
She is around 5ft, of slim build, with blue eyes and long, blonde hair. She also has tattoos, one which is visible on her right wrist and says ‘Forever’.
Detective Chief Inspector Bob Williamson said: “We continue to follow up several lines of enquiry and are working to find answers for Khasha’s family.
“As with every missing person inquiry, all aspects of Khasha’s life have been, and continue to be, explored. We know she would never miss events such as her daughter’s birthday and Christmas, and we have to consider the possibility that she may have come to harm.
“We are constantly evaluating and exploring all the information we have and remain open minded. We are doing everything we can to find her.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3915 of 5 January 2024.

I’m assuming Police have received new information and that is why they are searching the area again?

Arrested man is 39 according to the BBC. That's the only extra info. Man arrested over death of missing Khasha Smith
I hope that, since it took so long to make an arrest, they have enough to charge.
