Only missing since 11.40pm last night, so I wonder what has sparked such a quick investigation? It is my neck of the woods, hope she is found quickly.

Really hope Lynn is found safe soon. Looking at those current Missing Persons at Scotland police, we know Alice has been missing around New Year, the next female missing before that is Nusrat Jahan 2017. So Scotland has been relatively safe for females the past few years.

 

[JerricaBenton]

The area is full of shops and pubs/restaurants and the Uni/students halls are all in that area. It is a very busy area, though perhaps not at that time of night on a Sunday. There should be plenty CCTV though.

Officers are growing increasingly concerned for a 45-year-old woman who remains missing in Dundee.

Lynn McPaul was last seen around 11.40pm Sunday, 23 January on the city’s Perth Road near to Strawberry Bank.

“It is out of character for her not to be in touch with anyone for this long. We are keeping her family fully informed as enquiries progress.

“We are continuing to work to establish Lynn’s movements since she was last seen and I would urge anyone who may have seen her at any time since late on Sunday evening or who has any other information at all to get in touch urgently.

“We also urge anyone who lives around the Strawberry Bank, Richmond Terrace and Magdalen Green area who may have dashcam, private CCTV or doorbell camera footage to review this and pass on anything of note to us.

“Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting reference number 0157 of 24 January, 2022.”

Lynn is described as white, around 4ft 11in tall and of slim build with shoulder length dark brown hair. When last seen she was wearing a black knee-length coat with a white Nike logo on the back, and distinctive white Nike Air Force One trainers.

Local information is that there has been a body found at Broughty Ferry beach. This is literally in the last few minutes, so it will be awhile before any identification is made.
