Appeal:Missing Person. 25 Dec 16:38

Police are appealing for help in tracing a missing woman last seen in the busy West End.

 

Rita Wright (27.8.38 - 73 ys) of Birmingham is visiting her

granddaughter's home in Cathcart Road SW10 over the Christmas period.

 

Rita suffers from dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) - a form of dementia

that shares characteristics with both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's

diseases. As such she may appear disorientated or confused.

 

On Christmas Eve (24 December) she was out her family amongst the

last-minute Christmas shoppers, but wandered away from them. She was

last seen coming out of the Selfridges store on Oxford Street W1, at the junction with Duke Street, at approx. 10.40hrs.

 

Rita was heading towards Oxford Circus.

 

There has been no sighting since that time and our concern is growing as time passes without any news.

 

Rita is white and of proportionate build. She is 4ft 9 tall, and was

wearing a beige three-quarter length rain coat, black leggings (over

which were distinctive pink spotted socks), and she was carrying a brown bag.

 

She has platinum blonde hair - straight and shoulder length
