Judith was last seen on Saturday at 10.43am at Library Gardens in Harrogate after she left her care home.

North Yorkshire Police says a member of the public reported seeing missing Harrogate woman Judith Holliday in Wetherby yesterday, as officers continue to search for the missing 73-year-old.

Judith was last seen on Saturday at 10.43am at Library Gardens in Harrogate after she left her care home.

Police believe she may have walked from here to use public transport.

She is described as white, thin build, approximately 5ft in height, with medium-length grey bobbed hair. She was last seen wearing dark-coloured trousers and a coat.

The police have deployed their operational support unit as well as a drone to search for her in rural areas around Harrogate.

Extensive CCTV enquires are also taking place to try and establish any further positive sightings.

North Yorkshire Police critical incident inspector, Martin Smith said:

“We’re currently extremely concerned for the welfare of Judith. I believe that Judith has either walked from this location on foot or has used public transport.

“I would urge members of the public, in particular people in the Harrogate and Wetherby areas to remain vigilant, and report any sightings to police immediately.”
