Investigators are looking at the shock incident in great detail.
Investigators are searching for a shop thief from Kilmarnock who threatened employees before taking merchandise.

Shawnie McGeechan, a detective constable, stated: “We are requesting anyone who may have witnessed anything to get in touch with us as we continue our investigation.”

According to Janet, her daughter, hospital staff consented to unaccompanied visitation without informing family members. It was in this period when Anne vanished.#
Janet says that upon Anne’s admission to the hospital, staff members advised against releasing her without a family member signing her out or helping her, given that Anne was suffering from hypomania.
“Mum has been going through a really difficult time for the past few months,” Janet clarified.
“She was released from the hospital without consulting her family.”
