Police issue urgent appeal to trace missing Cambuslang doctor

Police in Lanarkshire are appealing for the public's help in tracing a 29-year-old doctor who has been reported missing.

Concern has been raised for the whereabouts of Dr Catriona Gaskell who has not been in touch with family, friends or her partner since leaving her home in Cambuslang on Saturday night.

Catriona, known as Cat, was recorded walking out of her front door on CCTV in Fallow Grove, Newton Farm, at around 7.55pm.

She was then seen to walk towards Red Deer Road and into the wooded area nearby.

Cat is described as white, 5ft 9in height, of slim build, blue eyes and has auburn hair. When last seen she was wearing white and grey tartan zipper top and was carrying a small holdall.

Sergeant Stuart Hare told Lanarkshire Live : "Cat has never been missing before and for her not be in touch with family or friends is concerning.

"Officers have been making local enquiries since she was reported missing and have been checking CCTV and liaising with local bus and taxi companies but so far no one has seen or heard from Cat.

"We would ask people, especially in the Fallow Grove/Red Deer Road areas to keep an eye out for Cat if they can or if anyone has doorbell camera, then to check the footage in case she has passed by.

"If you have seen Cat or have any information that will help us trace her, then please get in touch.

"We'd also appeal to Cat herself and ask her to contact her family, a friend or police just to let people know she is ok."

Cat's frantic partner Robbie Thomson has also issued an appeal for information on social media.

His post read: "Hi there. My partner has been missing since last night.

"She left our house on foot at 8pm (I have ring doorbell footage) and didn't return.

"Her family and friends haven't heard from her and the police are involved.

"Looking to see if anyone in the estate has CCTV footage that might have picked her up at that time."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101. Information can also be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
