“I want to take this opportunity to ask those living across our communities in Doncaster for your help.

"Have you seen Shirley in recent days? Have you driven past a woman fitting her description and therefore may have captured her on your car’s dash camera?

"Do you live locally in Wheatley and have a CCTV or doorbell camera which may have caught her walking by?

“Shirley’s family are understandably really concerned about her and we are doing all we can to find her and get her home safe to her loved ones.”
