Woman Missing from New Cross

The Metropolitan Police are seeking the public’s help in locating Deborah O’Connell, a 38-year-old woman reported missing from her home in New Cross since 15 July. Deborah was last seen by a family member visiting from Ireland, and concerns for her welfare are growing as days pass without any contact.

Deborah left her home abruptly after telling her visiting relative that she needed to go somewhere. When she failed to return, she was officially reported missing to the authorities on the evening of 17 July.

The police have been actively investigating her disappearance, utilizing various investigative tactics, including an extensive review of available CCTV footage in an effort to trace her last known movements. However, efforts to locate her have not been successful.

Deborah is known to have connections in several areas including Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hayes, Lewisham, as well as in Ireland, which are all being explored by the investigating team.

The Met Police urge anyone who may have seen Deborah or knows of her whereabouts to contact them immediately. For general information, please call 101 and quote the reference 7804/17JUL24. In the event of an immediate sighting or urgent information, please dial 999.
