Police are appealing for the public's help to trace 45-year-old Denise Cain who has been reported missing from Liverpool.

Denise (pictured) was last seen on Wednesday 17th October in the Liverpool area.

She is described as white, around 5ft 4, of a large build with blonde and brown hair.

It is not certain what Denise was wearing when she was last seen, however she is known to wear a white/silver coat.

Denise is not known to travel far and spends most of her time in and around Liverpool so this is very out of character.

Police officers are making extensive efforts to find Denise and return her home safely and would urge Denise, anyone who knows of her whereabouts, or who has seen a woman resembling her to contact @MerPolCC, call 101 or the independent charity Missing People by calling 116 000 or by emailing 116000@missingpeople.org.uk.
