Missing daughter prompts appeal | Missing daughter prompts appeal |
(about 13 hours later) | |
The distraught parents of an Edinburgh doctor missing for 10 days have begged their daughter to get in touch and let them know that she is safe. | |
Jim and Carol McLean said they missed the "good family times" with Susannah Ellis, 28, but understood she had been deeply unhappy in recent weeks. | |
Ms Ellis told friends on Sunday 4 February, she was going shopping in Princes Street, but did not return. | |
Police said she withdrew a large sum of cash from three ATMs before vanishing. | |
We miss your company and the good family times we all have together Jim McLeanSusannah Ellis' father | |
Fears for her safety increased last week when her rucksack was discovered in a bin at a city pub. | |
And her parents are worried she will become more and more anxious without her prescribed medication. | |
Mr and Mrs McLean have made a direct, emotional appeal to their daughter, who is separated from her husband, to come forward. | |
"Susannah, no-one knows if you are OK," Mr McLean, 59, said. | |
"Susannah, life has been difficult for you recently and we understand how deeply unhappy and frustrated you have been. | |
"We also understand that, at present, you feel that you don't want to tell anyone where you are. | |
"We miss you very much. We miss your company and the good family times we all have together. | |
"We are very worried about you." | |
