'Serious concerns' for Whangarei woman Bridget Simmonds, missing for over two months
A woman who has been missing for over two months may have taken a taxi or accepted a ride home on the day she went missing, police have said.
Bridget Simmonds, 42, was reported missing on March 6 by her family when they grew worried she hadn't been in contact - something they said was very unusual.
She was last seen when she was dropped off at Countdown on Kamo Road, Whangarei, by family at about midday on February 23.
Bridget was last seen wearing a dark-coloured singlet and black jeans, and had three large black and grey backpacks with her. She has a large distinctive tattoo on her upper left arm of a fairy tangled in vines holding an orb.
Anyone with information as to her whereabouts can contact Detective Constable Joseph Reuben on 09 945 4733, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Read more here.
