A body has been found in the search for a missing woman<\/a> who vanished four days ago.<\/p>\n Alison Gibbens<\/a> was last seen on North Gyle Avenue in Edinburgh at around 10.30am on Monday, January 26. A multi-agency search was launched in a bid to find the 60-year-old at the beginning of the week.<\/p>\n HM Coastguard and volunteers from the RNLI were drafted in to support Police Scotland in their efforts. Sadly, officers have now confirmed that a body<\/a> was found in the Gogar area of Edinburgh on Friday.<\/p>\n The body has yet to be formally identified, however, Alison’s heartbroken family have been informed. It’s understood the death is not being treated as suspicious.<\/p>\n A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “On Friday, January 30, a body was found in the Gogar area of Edinburgh during searches for a missing woman.<\/p>\n “The body has yet to be formally identified, however, the family of 60-year-old Alison Gibbens, who was reported missing from North Gyle Avenue around 10.30am on Monday, January 26, has been informed. A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”<\/p>\n Earlier this week we told how an enquiry launched into her disappearance<\/a> had revealed a possible sighting at the junction of Whitehouse Road and Gamekeeper’s Road at around 2.45pm on Monday.<\/p>\n
