The family of a missing Dundee woman have said they are facing the ‘hardest days of our lives’ as they desperately appeal for help to find her. Sharon Hutchison was last seen on Saturday, July 30, in the Provost Road area of the city, but has failed to make contact since.
The vulnerable 54-year-old is described as being 5ft 1in tall, of a slim build, with long brown hair and has glasses. The mum was last seen wearing black leggings, a blue anorak coat, black shoes and had a black handbag in her possession.
In a statement released through Police Scotland, her partner and family said: “For us the last few days have been the hardest of our lives. We are missing her so much.
“We have been helped immensely through this difficult time in the knowledge that the town where Sharon called her home, is full of such wonderful and supportive people. Loved ones, friends and complete strangers have gone above and beyond to help with the search.
“It is impossible to put into words the gratitude we feel. People across Dundee and beyond, as well as Police Scotland and the countless amazing organisations and companies have united to help find Sharon with the shared aim to bring her home to us.
“The kind words and selfless acts of the community have meant so much to us. We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everything you have done for us.
“We are frantically worried and miss mum so much. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and know that we will forever be grateful for your kindness.”
Police enquiries have been continuing in the area since Sharon was reported missing, with officers going door to door and studying available CCTV.
Inspector Chris Boath added: “Naturally Sharon’s family are extremely concerned
