Concern growing for Dunfermline woman, 71, missing overnight in extremely cold weather

Police say concern is growing for a 71-year-old woman from Dunfermline missing overnight during extremely cold weather.

Norma Sinclair was last seen around 5.55pm on Tuesday, January 7, in Victoria Terrace.

She was last seen wearing a grey padded knee-length coat with a full zip and hood along with leggings and grey Ugg boots.

Residents are being asked to check outbuildings and sheds in case she sought shelter from the cold there.

Chief Inspector Christopher Dow said: “We are growingly increasingly worried for the whereabouts of Norma and we are looking to find her as quickly as possible.

“It’s out of character for Norma to not be in touch with her family and with the extremely cold weather this causes us concern given she has been out overnight.

“We are reviewing CCTV and carrying out local enquiries, however we have been unable to trace her.

“I would ask residents to check outbuildings and sheds just in case she has sought shelter there.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have seen Norma or has any information about where she is to get in touch with us.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 2886 of Tuesday, January 7, 2025.”
