Gracie-May Found Safe After Nationwide Search

Police launched an urgent appeal last Friday to find missing two-year-old Gracie-May from Lancaster. The good news? Officers reunited with her last night (August 29) at Manchester Airport.

Child Safe, Woman Detained

Gracie-May was spotted with a 35-year-old woman who was promptly detained — but not arrested — and taken into custody without incident. She will be voluntarily interviewed later about the toddler’s disappearance.

Man Linked to Case Missing Abroad

Meanwhile, a 39-year-old man police want to speak to in connection with the case has not returned to the UK, casting a shadow over the investigation.

Police Praise Public for Support

“Thank you to everyone who shared our appeal and helped bring Gracie-May home,” police said. “Your support has been massively appreciated.”
