POLICE today appealed for help to trace a 44-year-old woman who has gone missing from her home in Headington.

Natasha Moyle was last seen on Wednesday. She is very slim, 5ft 9in tall and has curly, shoulder length dark grey hair which is usually in a centre parting and tied back. She often wears large rounded glasses for reading, baggy casual clothes and a heavy duffel-style coat.

Police said she has a spotty complexion, uses a walking stick and suffers from chronic fatigue and is hard of hearing.

Paul Garbett, missing persons co-ordinator for Oxford, said: "Natasha's family are concerned for her welfare and I would urge her to get in touch with her family or the police as soon as possible on 0845 8 505 505."
