A large-scale search is ongoing today for a missing 66-year-old woman in Christchurch who police hold “grave fears” for.
Tracy, 66, was reported missing after she did not show up to a planned lunch date Wednesday, September 17 shortly before 1.30pm.
Her Tesla was found along Taylors Mistake Rd in Scarborough about 2pm, but there was no sign of her.
Constable Kieran Palmer said police, search and rescue volunteers, Fire Emergency New Zealand, and Sumner Coastguard volunteers have been involved in the search.
“We’re very concerned for Tracy’s welfare, and her family wants her to return home.
“Police have carried out inquiries through the night, and searchers are back out there this morning looking for Tracy, and we ask anyone with information to contact us immediately.”
Tracy was described as being of a small build, with grey curly hair, and may still be in the Whitewash or Scarborough area.
Anyone who sees her should immediately contact police by calling 111.
