Police are growing “increasingly concerned” for a missing Perth 13-year-old

Ellie Clark, 13, was last seen on Tulloch Terrace at around 8.15am on Thursday.

She is described as 5ft 3ins tall with long brown hair and was last seen wearing
black leggings, a black jacket and black Converse trainers.

Officers are now appealing for information on her whereabouts, and have asked
members of the public with any knowledge on her disappearance to come
forward.

The auntie of a 13-year-old schoolgirl who has been missing for five days
believes she may have travelled to Edinburgh and is asking for help to find
her.

Ellie has connections to East Kilbride and Hamilton but the family also believe
she may have travelled to the Capital.

Her auntie Cody Falconer, from Hamilton, said: “She’s apparently down in
Edinburgh (?), I am just trying to contact as many people as possible to get the
word out there and get her home. Ellie and I had a good conversation back in
January about how Ellie’s feeling and I told her I am just a call away if she
ever needs anything, I’d drive from Hamilton to Perth if she needed me.”


Police investigating Ellie’s disappearance also appealed for her safe return.
Inspector Kris McCall said: “As time passes we are growing increasingly
concerned for Ellie. We are carrying out searches and reviewing CCTV in an
effort to trace her. I would appeal directly to Ellie, if you see this message
please contact the police on 101 or approach any police officer so we can
ensure you are safe.”

This does not sound good, could she be in Edinburgh but why no contact with anyone?

Hopefully she's OK -- it at least doesn't sound like there was no reason at all for her to disappear and that there have been problems at home so she may have run away. A 13 year old isn't going to fully understand the consequences so if they're adamant about not being found won't contact family. Slightly more concerning if she hasn't had any contact with friends.

I remember there was a similar situation recently down in the South of England / London area where the girl did, eventually, turn up unharmed so hopefully that'll be the case here.

UPDATE: Ellie Clark has been traced safe and well.

Good news

A Nice Change
a Good Ending
