Lynn McPaul search continues as cops share photo of jacket worn by missing Scot

Police have issued a picture of the distinctive Nike jacket worn by missing woman Lynn McPaul when she was last seen almost a week ago.

The 45-year-old was last spotted on Sunday January 23 on Perth Road in Dundee, close to Strawberry Bank.

At the time, she was wearing a black Nike jacket with the brand's logo on the front and rear.

Officers have released a photo of the coat in a bid to jog locals' memories of Sunday night.

Extensive searches are continuing in and around the west end of the Tayside city to trace Lynn, whose disappearance has been described as "out of character" by relatives.

Officers have urged residents in the area to check outbuildings and sheds for signs of disturbance - and to report any potential information, no matter how slight, to police as soon as possible.

Inspector Keith Anderson of Downfield Police Station said: “We are continuing with extensive searches and police enquiries in order to trace Lynn.

“It is completely out of character for her to be out of touch with her family for this length of time. We are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare the longer she remains missing.

“Search activity is continuing and we will have a number of specialist police resources dedicated to helping find her.

“As part of this I would urge anyone who lives around Strawberry Bank, Richmond Terrace and Magdalen Green or the surrounding area who may have a shed or outbuilding where someone could seek shelter to check this and report anything of note to us.

“Lynn’s family is extremely concerned for her and we are providing family members with support and keeping them fully informed."

He added: “Alongside the search activity, we are continuing with conventional police enquiries to try and establish Lynn’s movements since she was last seen on Sunday.

“I would please ask anyone with information which has not yet been passed to police to get in touch urgently. Even if you feel your information may not be of note, it may help us piece together Lynn’s movements.

“I would also reiterate our appeal to 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."

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 distinctive white Nike Air Force One trainers along with the black Nike jacket.

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