Elsa Ogunbiyi was last seen at her family home in Westminster on Tuesday evening, sparking a major police investigation and growing concern for her welfare.
Her mother, voice trembling with emotion, directly addressed the public: "Please, if anyone has seen my daughter or knows where she might be, contact the police immediately. Elsa, if you see this, please come home. We love you and we're so worried about you."
Details of the Disappearance
Elsa was last seen wearing her distinctive school uniform - a maroon blazer, white shirt, and black trousers. Police have released this description to help the public identify her.
Detective Inspector Sarah Matthews, leading the investigation, stated: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Elsa's welfare. We're pursuing multiple lines of enquiry and are reviewing CCTV footage from the Westminster area."
