Husband makes appeal for missing American tourist to return
THE husband of a US tourist who has been missing for almost a week after she left the family’s holiday cottage has appealed for her to return.
As Police Scotland continue their search in the Perthshire town of Aberfeldy for missing Susan McLean, 61, Donald McLean thanked search teams and the local community for their support during the week.
Police are due to carry out checks along the A826 main route out of the town. This followed potential sightings of Mrs McLean in the area on the night of her disappearance.
Mr McLean said: “This has been a very difficult time for our family. Susan is a loving wife and mother to our sons James and Donald and we miss her terribly.
“Everyone in Aberfeldy has been very supportive and I want to thank all the people who have spoken to the police and given their time to help in our search for Susan.
“We just want her to be here with us, if anyone knows anything that might help to bring her back to our family, please let the police know so that we can bring her home.”
Mrs McLean, of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, had been on a two-week tour of Scotland with her family.
She was reported missing from the Moness Resort on the town’s Crieff Road at 7.45pm on Sunday.
She was captured on CCTV outside the grounds of the holiday complex.
A number of local officers intend to revisit Aberfeldy between 7pm and 9pm tomorrow in an attempt to trace further witnesses.
Police want householders to check their outbuildings for any signs that Mrs McLean may have been there.
She was wearing a black and grey coloured waterproof jacket, beige khaki trousers and light coloured trainers.
She is five feet eight inches tall, of medium build, with short fair hair and green eyes.
