“We know Helen is a keen walker and visits the Seacliff and wider East Lothian areas. Despite officers, family and friends carrying out checks of these areas, there has been no reported sightings of her.

"I'd ask anyone who thinks they may have seen Helen, or has any information on her whereabouts, to contact us as quickly as possible."
