Missing teen, 14, last seen on Snapchat maps five days ago

Update: Jodie has now been found safe and well

A teenager at the centre of a missing persons appeal was last seen on Snapchat maps five days ago.

Jodie Pook went missing from her home in Wakefield on Wednesday, September 15, and hasn't been seen since.

The 14-year-old, originally from Widnes, moved to the Wakefield area a few months ago but still has family and friends living in Widnes and connections to the Liverpool area.

Sister Carla Jade, 29, said her disappearance is "out of character" and there have been no confirmed sightings so far.

Carla said: "Jodie went missing on the 15th September from the Horbury area of Wakefield.

"She went out of the house at around 7pm and then her next Snapchat location on her phone was at 8pm on George Street in Ossett.

"The next location on her Snapchat was 11pm in the carpark of the Malt House pub in Ossett.

"No one has got sightings of her in those locations it's just Snapchat locations on her phone.

"We're growing very concerned for Jodie's welfare now. She's only 14 and from the 15th September it's a long time."

Jodie is described as being around 5ft 4ins tall and of a slim build.

She was believed to be wearing an all in one suit with bright lettering under a black sweatshirt and black knee-length leggings at the time of her disappearance.

In a heartfelt plea to Jodie, Carla said: "Jodie if you can see this it's Carla, your big sister. You're not in trouble.

"I'm always going to be here if you want to get in touch at any time, you can always get in touch with me or any one of us at any time.

"We just want to know you're safe and to give our baby sister the biggest hug. We all love you.

"We're all very concerned now so if you can see this please get in touch."

Anyone who can assist is asked to contact police in Wakefield on 101 or via the West Yorkshire Police website.

The log reference is 1807 of 15 September.
