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.

- Millie Cooper: 5ft 8in, slim build, shoulder-length brown hair. Last seen wearing a black gilet, blue Nike Air hoodie, white checked scarf, black leggings, and white Nike Air Force trainers.
- Lauren Underhill: 5ft 3in, very slim, long wavy thick dark hair. Wearing a pink/purple hooded coat, black hoodie, black joggers, and black trainers.
