Local police Insp Will Drummond said police were particularly concerned because of the time she went missing, the fact she left wearing clothing ill-prepared for the weather and her actions before she vanished.
She left home at about 3am on Boxing Day morning wearing just a vest and shorts.
She also left home without her mobile phone.
He added: 'Her family are as concerned as we are. Dedicated officers are working with the family and any new information is going straight to them.'
