POLICE have launched a desperate re-appeal for a missing woman as they seek further assistance to find her. 

Patricia Herny, 46, known as Patti to her friends and family was reported missing in March 2018. 

She lived in Paisely before relocating to Girvan in October in 2017 and was last seen on Monday 13 November 2017. 

Police carried out extensive enquiries in both Renfrewshire and Ayrshire but no trace of the mum has been found. 

Detectives are now concerend that it is "likely" to have come to harm with her family going through an "agonising" ordeal. 

Detective Chief Inspector Suzanne Chow of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Teams said: “Sadly, we now believe that it is very likely that Patricia has come to harm. Despite her family and police making several media appeals, no-one has yet come forward with information that has been able to help us trace her.

“This is an agonising time for Patricia’s family. They have received no contact from her since she was last seen. We believe that if she was safe and well, she would have been in touch, in particular for family birthdays, Christmas and other key dates.

"She was a loved daughter, mother and aunt and all her family want to know is where she is and what has happened to her.

‎ “Officers have carried out extensive enquiries into Patricia’s background, the lifestyle she led and who she kept in contact with as part of this enquiry.

"They are continuing to carry out enquiries and searches to locate her.

“Given that we now believe that Patricia has come to harm, we are appealing again for any information that could help us find Patricia and give her family some peace and closure.

"I am convinced someone has information that could help Patricia, her family and us‎. If it is you, please don't be scared to speak to us.

"You may have suffered too and if you have been a victim of any crime, we will protect and support you. ‎Please, do the right thing and contact us.

"If anyone remembers seeing Patricia in November 2017, please get in touch. Even the smallest piece of information may be able to assist us.

"Anyone with information is urged to contact the Incident Room in Kilmarnock on 01563 505172. If you are worried or scared but are willing help, you can ‎pass information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
