Police appeal for help to find missing woman, 35, after family tell them she has not been seen since the start of November last year

Khasha Smith from Edinburgh was last in touch with family on November 4 

Police have launched an appeal to the public as concern grows over the whereabouts of a missing woman who has not been seen since November.

Khasha Smith’s family said they have not heard from her in more than two months, with their last contact with her on November 4, 2023.

The 35-year-old from the Calder area of Edinburgh is said to spend time in the Gorgie area of the city, with officers looking into whether she might be staying with friends there.

Ms Smith is described as being around 5ft tall, of a slim build and as having long, blonde hair and blue eyes.

It is not known what she is wearing, but another distinguishing feature is that she has several tattoos including one on her right wrist which says ‘forever’.

Her family reported her missing on January 5 and Police Scotland confirmed that enquiries are still ongoing to trace her.

Inspector Paul Thomson said: ‘We are growing concerned for Khasha’s welfare due to the lack of contact with family and are appealing for help to find her.

‘We are not sure at this time what Khasha is wearing, but know she likes to frequent the Gorgie area of the city and may be staying with friends there.

‘We are asking anyone who may have seen her, or has information on where she might be, to please get in touch.

‘If Khasha herself sees this appeal, I would ask her to please make contact so we know she is safe and well.’

Anyone with any information can contact officers via 101, quoting reference 3915 of 5 January, 2024.
