Cork sighting reported of Karen Scott, missing woman with Down syndrome

Gardaí are investigating a reported sighting of a missing woman with Down syndrome in Penneys on St Patrick’s Street, in Cork.

Gardaí renewed their appeal for the public’s help in locating Karen Scott, 44, who went missing from her home in Finglas, Dublin, last Friday.

“Our greatest concern is the fact that Karen has Down syndrome and obviously, she has special needs. She left her home last Friday at 3.30pm (in Finglas) and the last confirmed sighting of her is on Friday evening on Berkley Road in Phibsboro,” Inspector John Burke said yesterday.
