'You’re not in any trouble; we just want you home safe' Family friend's plea to missing Houghton Regis teen
Police have renewed their appeal for a missing teenager to come home with a new video message from a close family friend.
Lexi, 14, has not been seen since she left her Houghton Regis home two weeks ago – on Wednesday, June 24 – and police say they are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.
Today, family friend Jessica Fensome, made a video message asking the teenager to get in touch and come home.
She said: “Lexi, your family and friends all miss you. Please get in contact with your mum, the police or me and come home. You’re not in any trouble; we just want you home safe.”
Lexi is described as 5ft 2ins with fair complexion, blue eyes and long straight ginger hair. She has a silver nose ring, and was last seen wearing pale blue cycling shorts, a dark grey t-shirt and black sliders.
Ring doorbell footage of Lexi, from the day before she went missing, was shared by detectives from Bedfordshire Police last week, in the hope that it will jog the memory of anyone who may have seen her.
Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Rivers from Bedfordshire Police said: “We are still urging anyone who knows of Lexi’s whereabouts or has seen her to please get in contact with us.
“We are growing increasingly concerned for her and want to reunite her with her family.
“Lexi – please contact us, Jessica or your family, we want you to return home safe and well.”
