Police are in a desperate hunt for Shelby, a heavily pregnant 27-year-old woman who vanished from a busy Bolton street over a week ago. Her disappearance in broad daylight has raised alarms, with officers deeply concerned for her safety and wellbeing.
Last Seen in Bolton’s Bustling Town Centre
Shelby was first reported missing on 10 October after disappearing from one of Bolton’s busiest commercial hotspots. Although she was spotted briefly yesterday, her current location remains a mystery, prompting Greater Manchester Police to ramp up their search efforts.
The 5ft 4in expectant mother was last seen wearing black trousers, a black or blue jacket, with her hair tied back in a ponytail. Police say her advanced pregnancy means she urgently needs medical care.
Urgent Public Appeal: Have You Seen Shelby?
“Can you help officers find Shelby? They want to make sure she is safe and well,” said Greater Manchester Police.
Anyone who spots her is urged to call 999 immediately. If you have any information, ring 101. The force stresses the urgency due to Shelby’s vulnerable condition.
Why Is Shelby Disappearing?
Shelby’s pattern of vanishing—first on 10 October, then briefly reappearing before going off the radar again—has baffled investigators. She may be moving between locations, possibly staying with friends or in temporary accommodation.
Police have not revealed whether Shelby has any known mental health issues or personal background details that could explain her disappearance. What is clear: a heavily pregnant woman without proper care faces serious risks to her health and her unborn baby.
Investigation Ongoing as Clock Ticks
As the search enters its second week, Greater Manchester Police are actively following leads and probing Shelby’s last known movements. The force is focusing on the Bolton area but hasn’t ruled out she may have travelled elsewhere.
Friends, family, and police desperately want news that Shelby is safe. If you have any information about her whereabouts, contact Greater Manchester Police on 101 or call 999 immediately.
