Mum issues appeal to the public

The missing teenager’s mother appealed to the public via social media, uploading a picture of the teenager, along with a picture of the cardigan she was wearing at the time of her disappearance and a map showing her last known location.

She wrote: “We have no updates on Anekah’s whereabouts. This was her last known location. She does have an iPhone but it’s been off since 3:55pm.

“Police are looking at CCTV footage to trace her steps from there but aside from that we have next to no information.

“We are begging, if anyone has seen her please let us or the police know. Thank you.

“I’ve attached the cardigan she was wearing. It’s pretty noticeable, maybe jog someone’s memory.”
