Police issue fresh appeal for help to trace missing 14-year-old girl

One week on from when she was last seen, we are continuing to appeal for any information to trace 14-year-old Eva Brown, who is missing from Winchburgh, West Lothian.

She was last seen there on Friday, 9 August, 2024. She said she was going to stay with friends in Glasgow, but she has not been in contact since Sunday, 11 August, 2024.

Eva is white, 5ft 6ins in height and of slim build with medium-length brown hair. When she was last seen she was wearing a grey top, grey joggers, black trainers and was carrying a black backpack.

Inspector Richard Homewood said: “As time passes, we continue to be extremely concerned for 14-year-old Eva’s safety and wellbeing. We are aware of misinformation online that Eva has been traced. She has not. She is still missing and extensive searches and enquiries are ongoing to trace her as soon as possible to ensure that she is safe and well.

“Eva is known to frequent Glasgow City Centre, Aberdeen, Mallaig, West Lothian and Whitley Bay in Northumbria and we are liaising with colleagues in these areas. I would urge anyone who has seen her or who has any information on her whereabouts to contact us as soon as possible.

“We would also ask Eva, if she sees this appeal, to please make contact with us to let us know you are safe.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1258 of Tuesday, 13 August, 2024.”
