‘She’s a person’ - Police slam online speculation and renew appeal for info on Lytham woman missing for 9 days

Police are renewing their appeal for information to help find missing 29-year-old Eren Wright, as their investigation focuses on Lytham, St Annes, Fairhaven, Blackpool and the wider Fylde coast.

Eren was last seen leaving her home on St David’s Road South, Lytham, just after 10am on Tuesday, October 27.

Blackpool Police have released a CCTV image showing the sighting and said officers have carried out numerous enquiries both locally and outside Lancashire, particularly in Southport and Wigan.

As a result of those enquiries, the investigation is now focused on the Lytham, St Annes, Fairhaven, Blackpool and Fylde coast area. However, police have stressed that any information linking Eren to other areas will also be investigated.

Officers have also addressed online speculation surrounding her disappearance, reminding people that Eren is a real person with family and friends who are deeply concerned about her.

Police said: "There has been a lot of speculation and conversation online about Eren being missing and we would like to remind you that Eren is a real person and has a lot of people who love her. This is a very difficult time for them and online speculation does not help them.

"We ask that your refrain from speculating online and if you have any information which could help our officers, please report it using the appropriate channels."

Eren is described as white, 5ft 7in tall and slim, with blonde hair. She has tattoos of vines and a tree on her hands and arms. When she was last seen, she was wearing a light olive-green hoodie with a painting on the front, beige/cream wide-length trousers and battered white trainers.

Police are urging anyone who sees Eren to call 999 immediately. Anyone with other information that could help officers is asked to contact 101, quoting log 1309 of October 27.
