Michaela Oberhorner: Hunt for missing mother who vanished after leaving children outside school

Police have launched a search for a mother who vanished after leaving her two children outside a primary school.

Michaela Oberhorner, 47, has not been seen since around 3.30pm on Wednesday, January 13 when she left her children with a friend at Woodside Primary Academy in Walthamstow.

Police say she claimed to be going to the bank but never returned and they are growing increasingly concerned for her safety.

The German, who lives in Walthamstow, has no other family in the United Kingdom and has not been seen at her Edmonton workplace since that morning.

Anyone with information should call Waltham Forest CID via 101 or the charity Missing People on 116 000.
