Family of missing mum Karen Stevenson plead with her to come home

The devastated family of a woman missing from her home for nearly two weeks have issued a desperate appeal for her to come home.

Karen Stevenson was last seen in the early hours of Sunday, February 19, after leaving her home in Cumbernauld.

The 42-year-old mum-of-two left home in the Lairds Hill area at Seafar shortly after midnight before walking towards the city centre.

She then continued towards Muirfield Community Centre near Brown Road and Fleming Road around 2.55am and hasn't been seen since.

Karen's family said her disappearance is 'completely unusual' and have pleaded with her to come home.

In a statement issued by police, they said: "This is completely unusual for Karen and she has never been missing before.

“The whole family are really worried and would like Karen to get in contact with anybody to let us know she is safe.

“If anyone has any information at all then please contact the police as soon as you can."

Inspector Susan Rae, of Cumbernauld Police Station, added: “Extensive searches and enquiries have been carried out throughout the local area in an effort to trace Karen.

“These are continuing and we've been assisted by resources including specialist search advisors, and the dog unit. Officers have also been carrying out house to house enquiries and checking CCTV.

“I know our concern is shared by locals, and I would continue to urge anyone who thinks they may have seen Karen to get in touch as soon as possible. Any information, no matter how small, could help find her."

Karen is described as 5ft 1ins, of slim build, with long brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a purple hooded jacket with a fur-lined hood, cream long sleeve t-shirt with a graphic design, black leggings, and black ankle boots.

She also may be carrying a small pink handbag, with metal studs and a chain strap.

Anyone who has seen Karen since February 19, or has any information that may be relevant to the investigation is asked to call 101 with reference 3369 of 19 February.
