Appeal for sightings of missing Pahiatua woman

Pahiatua Police would like to hear from anyone who may has seen or had contact with Elizabeth Udy since she was reported missing on October 11.

Elizabeth, or Lizzie as she is known, was last seen at approximately 3am on Wednesday 11 October in Pahiatua township.

Police believe Lizzie may have made her way to the Mangatainoka River by the Pahiatua Town Bridge.

It is possible she may have entered the river on the boundaries of Pahiatua.

Despite more than a week of land and water searches, police have been unable to locate any sign of Lizzie or information concerning her current whereabouts.

Lizzie has not made contact with any of her friends or family and her bank and phone accounts remain unused.

Police do not believe Lizzie has access to a vehicle. They believe that if she has left Pahiatua she would have done so on foot, and would have to have been picked up by someone to travel any great distance.

Lizzie is 45 years old and described as Caucasian, of slim build, and about 155cm tall. She was wearing a nightgown when last seen.

If you have seen Lizzie, or have information which might help locate her, please contact your nearest police station.
