Concerns growing for missing woman who hasn't been heard from since July

Concerns are growing for a woman who hasn’t been in contact with her family in almost a month.

Janette Johnston was reported missing on August 17 from Macmerry in East Lothian after her family had not heard from her since July 31.

The 63-year-old is known to frequent the Musselburgh and Macmerry areas.

Janette has been described as being around 5ft 2ins with blue eyes and brown hair.

Inspector Alan King said: “We are growing concerned for Janette’s welfare due to the lack of contact with family and friends are appealing for help to find her.

“We are not sure at this time what Janette is wearing but know she likes to frequent the Musselburgh and Macmerry areas and often stays with friends there.

“We are asking anyone who may have seen her, or has information on where she might be, to please get in touch. If Janette herself sees this appeal, I would ask her to please make contact so we know she is safe and well.”

Anyone with any information can contact officers via 101, quoting reference 2260 of August 17.
