Police in Forth Valley Division have brought in specialist support in their effort to trace a 49-year-old woman who has been missing from her home in Stirling for more than a fortnight.
Christine Henley was last seen by her family around 4pm on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 26, 2014, and has not been in contact with them since, which her family believe is out of character. On occasions Christine would not be in touch for a few days but never for this length of time.
The police investigation has continued and everyone involved in the enquiry is particularly concerned for her welfare and well-being as she has not accessed any money, nor used her mobile phone in the last fortnight. Christine has not been in contact with any friends or relatives either and this is entirely out of character.
Detective Chief Inspector Jim Smith, of Police Scotland’s Forth Valley Criminal Investigation Department, has taken over management of the investigation, working alongside the Local Area Commander. The investigation is still being considered a missing person enquiry.
He said: “At this time, we have no evidence that Christine has come to any harm, however we are now very concerned or her. We have brought in specialist resources to assist with the investigation and searches. Our priority at this time is to trace Christine and establish her wellbeing. Christine has friends and family in the Stirling and Alness area, and I would appeal to anyone from these areas, who have any information, no matter how small or insignificant, to share that with my officers “
When Christine was last seen, she was wearing a navy blue jacket, black leggings and long black boots. She is described as white, 5ft 6” tall with shoulder length blonde hair.
Anyone who has seen her in the last two weeks, or knows where she is, is asked to call Police Scotland on 101 or can provide the information anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
