"Pamela being absent from her home for prolonged periods is not out of the ordinary and she has previously travelled to Ireland and may have shown an intention to travel to Scotland.

"However her family have now received no contact from her for nearly two weeks and would like to know she is safe and well.

"Her disappearance is not being linked to investigation to find Lindsay Birbeck, who is also missing from the Accrington area."

Anyone with information about Pamela or her whereabouts should contact police on 101 quoting log number 0714 of August 19.
