A desperate mother is still frantically searching for her teenage daughter, who has not been in touch since the Manchester Arena terror attack.
Charlotte Campbell last heard from 15-year-old Olivia shortly before Ariana Grande came on stage on Monday night.
“I last had contact with her at half past eight last night. She was at the concert, she’d just seen the support act and said she was having an amazing time and thanking me for letting her go,” Ms Campbell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
“She was with her friend Adam – Adam was found about half an hour ago, he’s in hospital but Olivia has not been found yet.”
Ms Campbell said she had been at home “phoning everybody – hospitals, police, all these centres that the children have been put in”.
“Her dad is actually in Manchester looking for her. I’ve got friends out looking for her, I’ve got people I don’t even know out looking for her.
“I’ve got people messaging me saying ‘Look, we’ve got her photo and we’re out looking for her – we’ll get in contact with you if we see her’.
“I’m just hearing nothing – her phone’s dead.”
Ms Campbell posted a picture of her daughter on Facebook saying “please share my daughter is still missing with no news on her”.
She said social media had been “wonderful” and thanked those who were helping with the search.
