The daughter of a missing woman has made a plea for her to come home in time for Christmas.
Michelle Grimbley, 45, was last seen by her family on Friday, October 19, near to her home in Beaumanor Road, off Abbey Lane, Leicester.
Her daughter, Nicola, said: "We really miss you, Mum, and we want to have you home for Christmas. Please come home."
Today, police were due to carry out searches in Beaumont Leys as part of the investigation into Michelle's disappearance.
Officers hope this will provide information that will lead them to Michelle, who is white, 5ft 4in, of medium build and with shaved hair.
Inspector Pete Williams, the senior investigating officer, said: "We are understandably concerned and, with Christmas just around the corner, we want to get Michelle home and with her family.
"Officers will be carrying out searches in Beaumont Leys Lane, Corporation Road and Abbey Lane in the hope of finding a clue that will lead us to Michelle. There have been a number of sightings of Michelle since she was reported missing to us, mainly in Beaumont Leys.
"However, the last sighting of her was at the beginning of December, in Marwood Road.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Leicestershire Police's missing from home team on 101.
