Family appeals over missing woman case

The family of a missing woman has issued an emotional appeal as police said they could not rule out a “sinister” explanation for her disappearance.

Julie Reilly, 47, was last captured on CCTV at a Glasgow supermarket on 6 February.

Her mother Margaret Hanlon, 69, has two months later begged her daughter or anyone with information about her to get in touch. She said: “Please if you are out there somewhere Julie, please let us know you’re OK.

“We are all so sick with worry for your safety.”

She said Ms Reilly, who was reported missing on 15 February after failing to make appointments, would never miss them.

Forensic searches of Ms Reilly’s home near Shieldhall Road in Govan are ongoing, but detectives stressed her disappearance was still a missing persons inquiry.
