She is described as having shoulder-length dark hair which was tied in a ponytail and was wearing dark blue top and trousers with large silver buttons to the front and a lighter blue or purple scarf.

Detective Inspector Ryan Bragg, of Bradford CID, said: “We have tried various means to identify this woman but as yet have not been able to do so. I would urge anyone who believes they may know the identity of this woman or who has concerns for a family member of friend who fits this description to make contact immediately.
