This news report covers the urgent search for 13-year-old Lillia, who went missing from her home in Bolton, Greater Manchester:
Disappearance and Movements: Lillia was reported missing by her family on Friday, September 11. Ensuing investigations tracked her to Manchester’s Piccadilly bus station on Friday night, and then to the Trafford Centre shopping complex on Saturday, where she was seen boarding the 247 bus heading toward Altrincham.
New Sighting: Greater Manchester Police released fresh CCTV footage showing a new confirmed sighting of Lillia inside a McDonald’s branch in Piccadilly, central Manchester, on Sunday evening (September 13) at approximately 8:20 PM.
Mother’s Emotional Plea: Her mother, Jessica, made an emotional appeal for her safe return, saying her “heart is breaking without you here.” She directly addressed her daughter, reassuring Lillia that she is loved, desperately missed, and “not in any trouble,” pleading for her to get in touch so the family knows she is safe.
Police Appeal & Description: Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley of Greater Manchester Police confirmed the search spans the entire Greater Manchester area, while keeping open the possibility that Lillia may have traveled further afield. Lillia is described as slim, around 5ft 6in (1.67m) tall, with light brown hair and glasses. She was last seen wearing a black zip-up hoodie, baggy light blue jeans, and carrying a black Nike backpack. Police have urged anyone with dashcam, doorbell footage, or information to come forward immediately.
