Teen Girls Vanish After Playing Football
Millie Cooper, 13, and Lauren Underhill, 14, were last spotted playing football around 4pm on Saturday, 3 December 2022, in the Learoyd Road area. CCTV footage shows the pair running off towards the Nuffield Industrial Estate. Since then, they’ve vanished without a trace and haven’t contacted anyone.
No Phones, Cash, or Passes
Investigations reveal neither girl has her mobile phone, money, or a bus pass. This is sparking fears for their safety because it’s unclear how they’re getting around or if they’re okay.
