Police release last known movements of missing Yorkshire woman as family are 'incredibly worried'

Police have issued a map showing the last known movements of a woman from Yorkshire who has been missing since last week.

The Doncaster woman – named only by South Yorkshire Police as Pam – shows the route the force believe she took after she was last seen on March 14.

Pam – who is also known as Shirley – was last seen at a property on Winchester Avenue at around 7pm. Shortly before 7.30pm, police believe she was spotted on CCTV on Winchester Avenue and then again on Thorne Road, by the junction with Winchester Avenue, just minutes later.

Doncaster Superintendent Eleanor Welsh said: "We are really grateful for the public help and information we have received so far as we try to bring Pam back home to her incredibly worried family.

"We are very concerned about Pam's disappearance and have been working around the clock to try and trace her. We are now releasing a map of her last known movements, in the hope it may jog somebody's memory. Were you in the Wheatley area around the time Shirley went missing? Could you have CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage which might help us with our search?

"You will see a heightened police presence in the local area as we continue our extensive enquiries. Officers will be going door to door, putting up posters and handing out leaflets - if you have a piece of information for us, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please don't hesitate to mention it to us. It might be the vital detail we need to get Pam home."
