“LILL, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH” — HEARTBROKEN MOM MAKES DESPERATE PLEA AS GIRL, 13, VANISHES AFTER BOARDING BUS

A desperate search is underway for a 13-year-old girl who disappeared from Bolton, England, with police now examining CCTV and asking the public for any information that could help bring her home safely.

Lillia Lloyd Walton was reported missing after leaving her home in Bolton on the evening of Friday, Sept. 11.

Her mother, Jessica, has now made an emotional plea for her daughter to come home.

THE LAST KNOWN SIGHTING

According to Greater Manchester Police, Lillia left her home at approximately 8 p.m. on Friday and did not return.

The following day, CCTV captured her in the Piccadilly Gardens area of Manchester city center and later at the Trafford Centre.

At around 1:50 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, Lillia was seen boarding a 247 bus.

But investigators still do not know how long she remained on the bus or where she got off.

That unanswered question has become a key part of the investigation.

“PLEASE COME HOME”

In an emotional appeal delivered publicly by Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley, Lillia’s mother spoke directly to her daughter.

“Lill, I love you so so much,” Jessica said.

“My heart is breaking without you here. I need to know you are safe. We all need you back home safe and well.”

Police have also addressed Lillia directly, stressing that her family simply wants to know that she is safe.

POLICE ASK FOR CCTV AND DASHCAM FOOTAGE

Greater Manchester Police is asking anyone who may have seen Lillia — or anyone who may have footage showing her movements — to come forward.

Investigators are particularly interested in:

• CCTV footage
• Ring or doorbell recordings
• Dashcam footage
• Anyone who may have spoken with Lillia
• Anyone who may know where she has been staying

Police have urged people not to assume that seemingly small pieces of information are unimportant.

WHAT LILLIA LOOKS LIKE

Police describe Lillia as a white 13-year-old girl, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, with long light-brown hair usually worn in a low ponytail.

She wears clear-frame glasses.

When last seen, she was wearing dark wide-leg trousers and a black hooded zip-front jacket and was carrying a black Nike backpack.

THE SEARCH CONTINUES

The investigation remains active, and police say their priority is to locate Lillia and establish that she is safe and well.

For her family, however, every unanswered hour brings more anxiety.

Her mother’s message is simple: she does not want explanations or blame — she wants her daughter home.

“I need to know you are safe.”

Anyone with information about Lillia’s whereabouts is asked to contact Greater Manchester Police’s Major Investigation Team at 0161 856 3635, call 101, or provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
