90-year-old woman with dementia found after going missing

A 90-YEAR-OLD woman with dementia who went missing in the early hours of Thursday morning has been found.

Police launched a search for Annie Traynor, who was last seen at about 1am on Thursday in the Seafield Road area of Broughty Ferry, a suburb of Dundee.

She was described as around 5ft, of stocky build, with white, medium-length hair, usually carrying a walking stick.

When last seen she was wearing a purple dressing gown and black trousers, as well as glasses.

Police had urged anyone with information to contact them.

Inspector Alan Baird said at the time: “This is completely out of character for Annie and concerns are growing for her welfare.

“She has dementia, poor eyesight and walks with a stick. It is vital we find her to make sure she is safe and well.

“We are asking the public to keep an eye out for Annie and call us immediately if they see anyone matching her description.

“Please check private CCTV and, if you have been driving in the area, dash-cam to see if you have captured something that could help us to find Annie.

“Also, check outbuildings and sheds in case she has taken shelter.”

Police later confirmed that Traynor had been found.
