Missing woman found after car discovered abandoned with phone inside

A woman who disappeared without her phone and car has been found.

Holly Maxwell was last seen around 11.30am on October 31, when she left her home in Maybole to attend a fitness class in Ayr.

The alarm was raised by family members after the 22-year-old didn’t return home in the evening and they were unable to get in touch with her.

Holly’s plum-coloured Peugeot 107 was discovered in a supermarket car park on Castlehill Street, with her mobile phone still inside.

Inspector Colin Thapar, Police Scotland Ayrshire Division, previously said: “Holly’s phone was also found in her car, so no one has any way of contacting her.

“It’s possible she has taken a train to Glasgow City Centre, but that has still to be confirmed. We are checking with colleagues at British Transport Police and in Glasgow City Centre but would also still ask local people in Ayr or the Maybole area to keep a look out for her.

“Holly is around 5ft3 in height, has shoulder length dyed copper/red hair in a bobbed style with fringe, brown eyes, is of a medium build and was wearing a light teal/green hooded top, blue/navy leggings and lilac trainers.

“If you have seen Holly or have any information as to where she may be, then please call police.

“We’d also ask Holly to get in touch with her family to let them know she is safe and well.”

Those with information were asked to contact 101 quoting incident number 3099 of Thursday, October 31 2024
