Despite months of searches and appeals, her whereabouts remain a mystery, leaving her family fearing the worst and begging for news.
In an emotional message, they said: “Holly wherever you are, please try and get in touch.
“We miss you more and more every day.
“We are so worried and at our wits end about you wondering if you’re safe and well.
“We love you so much and dearly wish we hear your voice and see you very soon.
“No matter what, we are always here for you.
“We will never give up hope that you are found.
“You are forever in our prayers.
“Love always, your mum and dad.”
Holly is described as white, slim, 5ft 7ins tall, with blue eyes and long dark hair.
She is known to regularly change her hairstyle and colour, and has previously worn long black, pink, red and plum-coloured dreadlocks.
One of the last confirmed sightings of Holly showed her wearing a black coat, dark trousers and a short-sleeved black Adidas shirt.
Her hair was straight and dark, with the upper half plum to red in colour and the lower half darker and below shoulder length.
Police believe she may now be using a crutch to help her walk.
In her last known sighting leaving hospital, Holly was wearing a hospital gown, a green jumper and trainers with black and yellow bags underneath used as socks.
She was carrying a white plastic bag and a black Takamine acoustic guitar.
Investigators believe she later boarded a bus carrying the guitar and a hospital crutch and say she is known to travel around Cornwall using the local bus network.
The day before attending hospital, Holly was captured on CCTV in Tregolls Road, Truro, after travelling via St Columb Road, as reported by NeedToKnow.
Devon and Cornwall Police investigator Joanne Wilson said: “Sadly, Holly has now been missing for three whole months.
“We have made a number of appeals over this time which have helped us piece together her last known movements and I would like to thank the public for their help so far.
“Unfortunately, we still don’t know where Holly is now.
“It is possible she headed for Newquay again after she left the hospital and we would ask that if anyone has any information which they haven’t already shared with us, then we’d be very grateful to hear any further detail however small.
“Holly is a confident and vivacious young woman who is a talented musician.
“She makes friends easily and enjoys meeting people.
“We know she was in the hamlet of Idless on 30 March in the early hours at 3.30am when she knocked on the door of a local property for help.
“She was cold and had no shoes on her feet.
“She went to Treliske Hospital at that time and thereafter her movements are unknown.”
Anyone with information on Holly’s whereabouts is asked to call 101 quoting reference 50260109918.
