Last Known Movements

Holly was last seen leaving Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro on Tuesday 31st March at 10.10am. Officers are still working to piece together her movements after she left the hospital and want to hear from anyone who saw her that morning.

What She Was Wearing

When Holly left the hospital she was wearing a hospital gown, a green jumper and trainers. Underneath the trainers she had black and yellow bags being used as socks. She was carrying a white plastic bag and a black guitar.

Police think she may have changed her clothing since leaving the hospital, so they are asking the public to come forward with sightings of anyone matching her description or any information that could help.

She may also be using a crutch.
