POLICE forensics have been searching the home of a missing Paisley woman who vanished last year.

Patricia Henry was last seen by friends and family on November 17, and today forensic officers were scouring her home in Burnfoot Crescent, Glenburn.

Chief Inspector Gary I’Anson told The Daily Record: “Extensive efforts by Police Scotland officers to find Patricia, who has been missing since November last year, are continuing.

“The enquiry team are carrying out searches of properties in Paisley and Girvan, and examining vehicles, which may provide information which could assist in locating Patricia.

“Local door-to-door enquiries are also underway."

He added: "Patricia’s family are being kept informed of any developments by specially trained officers.

“We are still treating this very much as a missing person enquiry and while it is not unusual for Patricia to have limited contact with her family, her family are understandably extremely concerned for her well-being.

“I am reiterating earlier appeals for anyone who has information about Patricia’s currents whereabouts to get in touch.

“ I am also appealing to Patricia herself to come forward and let her family or police know she is safe.”

“Anyone with any information should contact Police Scotland via 101.

“Alternatively, you can contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.”

The 46-year-old mum-of-one lived in Paisley before relocating to Girvan in October last year.

Patricia is described as being white, 5ft 10 inches in height, of slim build and has collar-length brown hair.

She has a tattoo of two clouds, outlined in blue, with a red rose and green stem with the word ‘Patti’ on her left arm.

She has lived in Spain and it was originally believed that she had travelled abroad. However, it is now believed that she has not left the country.
