Kaitlyn Easson, 11, has been reported missing after she vanished from the town at around 5.30pm on Sunday sparking a huge search mission. Kaitlyn lives in the Langlee area of Galashiels and was last seen in the Gala Park area.
Her desperate family have been out searching in the town through the night and there are significant concerns for her welfare. Volunteers, mountain rescue, and Borders water rescue team are now all helping police look for her.
It's understood they are concentrating on areas between the town centre and her home in Langlee, including woods along the River Tweed. Divers are also said to have been spotted in the Gala Water at Netherdale.
Speaking to the Record, family friend Nicola Forrest said: "We are all worried sick. They are searching the Boleside area of Galashiels at the moment and the helicopter is out too.
"Her mum can't physically speak just now as she's so upset and stressed. We have no idea where she could be, it is totally out of character for Kaitlyn. We are just trying to stay positive."
It understood Kaitlyn was last seen on CCTV at a Starbucks in the town at 6.15pm. She has not been seen since.
Her phone is off and enquiries are ongoing to trace her. Fire and rescue teams with boats have sealed off an area on the banks of the River Tweed at Galafoot.
