A 12-year-old girl from Stoke-on-Trent has gone missing, raising serious concern among her family, friends, and local authorities. Gracie, who lives in the Blurton area, has not been seen for over 24 hours, and efforts to find her are intensifying. She left her home on Sunday, April 6, around 11:30 a.m. Her last confirmed sighting was at approximately 2:20 p.m. that same day, at Ingestre Square—a retail park located in the southwest part of the city, about three miles from the city center.
Gracie is described as being about 5 feet tall with shoulder-length light brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, she was believed to be wearing black leggings and a leopard-print top. These details have been widely shared by Staffordshire Police, who are urging the public to stay alert and report any possible sightings or relevant information.
