GRAMPIAN police will be out in force in Elgin this morning to interview more people about the missing mother Arlene Fraser.
Mrs Fraser disappeared a week ago. She waved her children, Jamie, 10, and five-year-old Natalie, off to school at 8.50am on Tuesday.
But the 33-year-old was not there when they got home and has not been seen since.
Searches of the area by mountain rescue teams, dogs, divers and a helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth have proved unsuccessful. On Sunday more than 300 people joined in the search but failed to find any trace.
One week on, officers will be targeting railway and bus stations and an inquiry team will be present at Elgin Primary School for people to get in touch.
Chief Inspector Laurie Stewart said: ''By focusing our efforts at this time, we want to jog someone's memory, perhaps someone who makes a weekly trip to Elgin or goes to work at roughly the same time every day.
''The large amount of publicity has not yet led us to find out what has happened to Mrs Fraser but, through officers carrying out individual interviews we hope to receive more information.
''The emphasis today will be on pro-actively speaking to members of the public as opposed to them contacting us.
''We cannot stress enough that no matter how insignificant people think their information is, please just contact the police.''
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
