Officers believe the taxi travelled to Carlisle and that Marie may currently be in the city. Taxi and private hire drivers who were operating in the area at the time are being encouraged to check whether they recognise her description.

Police said they are concerned for Marie’s welfare. Anyone who sees her should call 999 immediately.


Other information that could assist the investigation can be reported through the Cumbria Police website⁠, quoting incident 192 of 18 August 2026. Information can also be provided by calling 101.
