She may have caught a taxi from the Roseberry Rd or wider Birkenhead area,&#8221; Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Williams, from Waitemat\u0101 East CIB, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"[&amp;_em]:font-serif-text-italic [&amp;_cite]:font-serif-text-italic\">&#8220;Maree&#8217;s family and police hold serious concerns for her following recent comments she has made. She stayed in a north Auckland motel recently and it is possible she has done the same again, but we continue to be worried for her wellbeing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"[&amp;_em]:font-serif-text-italic [&amp;_cite]:font-serif-text-italic\">Police want any taxi drivers that might have picked her up on Friday afternoon to contact them. They have asked accommodation providers with information to get in touch as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"[&amp;_em]:font-serif-text-italic [&amp;_cite]:font-serif-text-italic\">Residents in the wider Birkenhead area that may have seen her should also contact police. Anyone who sees her should call 111 immediately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"[&amp;_em]:font-serif-text-italic [&amp;_cite]:font-serif-text-italic\">Anyone with information on her whereabouts can also call 105, using the reference number 260728\/7173.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police have serious concerns for a 69-year-old reported missing from a residential complex on Auckland&#8217;s North Shore.
