‘AMBER Alert is the toughest means of the police’

It was only decided five days after her disappearance to report because the investigation recently gave rise to it. “We recently found out that she probably got on with a strange man. That fact, in combination with the photo of the man and the car, gave enough extra impetus to take this step.”
