Missing schoolgirl Kayleigh Haywood disappeared after going to see a man she met on Facebook.
Two men have been arrested after the 15-year-old, who was last seen on Friday, told her parents she was going for a sleepover at her best friend’s house.
But it is believed the popular youngster secretly met a man she had been in contact with on social media.
A source said: “Kayleigh had told her best friend about a man who had been messaging her on Facebook.
“They were both going to meet this man on Friday evening, but earlier in the week Kayleigh announced she was no longer going to meet him.
“Usually she would spend the weekend with her best friend and her family. But Kayleigh told the girl that she would be going to visit an auntie instead.”
Detectives are continuing to quiz two men aged 27 and 28 in connection with Kayleigh’s disappearance.
Magistrates have granted police a further 36 hours to question the two suspects, who were arrested in the early hours of Monday.
It has emerged that her mobile phone was discovered by a dog walker in Sence Valley Forest Park in Ibstock, Leics, on Saturday afternoon.
Her family, of Measham, Leics, said they “fear the worst” as she would never have willingly parted with her mobile.
In a statement, Kayleigh’s mum and dad, Martin Whitby, described her as a bubbly, loving, caring girl.
Appealing directly to her they said: “Your brothers and sister are missing you and just want you home.
“We all miss you so much especially Mertle, your little sister. Please come home, you’re not in any trouble, we just want you back safe and sound.”
Brother Kyle, 18, said: “I’ve not slept since Saturday. She is a 15-year-old girl and I just want my little sister to come back home.
"I’m terrified for her and what might happen.”
Police also searched a house on an estate in Ibstock. Kayleigh was last seen on Friday when she was dropped off outside Ibstock Community College, where she was a pupil until 2013.

OMG..may she return home safely..I PRAY!
Nawaoo. People are taking unnecessary risk. Imagine going to meet someone you dont know. What if the person ends up being a rapist or a ritualist. People get mindooo. Walahi. I pray she return safely choi
ReplyDeleteWe all meet people we've not met before. It's advisable we meet them in public places.
DeleteI pray she returns safely.
Love in Tokyo
DeleteEven with the way psychos roam the streets there they won't learn. People go out to meet online peeps with a back up friend and meeting must be in a public place.such a pity.
DeleteThey never learn, doesn't she read the news or something.
DeleteHmmmm*i pray she is found hale and healthy***Facebook been making people disappear since 1909..God help us
DeleteI cringe each time I remember one mumu waka or the other I have done in the past. Not travelling cos that was a no no.
DeleteOyinbo too?
DeleteAt 15 what is she going to meet a man for? Parents be watchful of your kids. But I guess making money is more important to parents this days they forget to watch their kids.
Deleteuna don hear
ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
Na wah oh...
ReplyDeleteThis just reminded me of Cynthia the girl that was murdered by her friends she met on face book...
Everyone should be very careful oh, don't trust strangers easily. I pray she is safe.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it's not another Cynthia saga and she's just tucked somewhere enjoying the ignorant bliss adolescence brings.
ReplyDeleteThe thing umu nwoke will cause, may she be found alive and well.
ReplyDeleteHer parents should have called/confirmed from her best friend's parents that she had arrived for the sleep over.
Smh
True! Her parents should have done that
DeleteSocial media been dealing with people since 1900, may God save her
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'd rather meet people I don't know or never seen beforre at a nearby eatery or bar.. it's safer, I pray she's OK and healthy whrevr she is ijn #sad
ReplyDeleteEatry bawo? Abeg Market o. Cannot fit shout. Lol
DeleteI pray they find her
ReplyDeleteThe man fit don rape her and bury her corpse somewhere...
ReplyDelete*BAD ASS BITCH*
Hope she hasn't been recruited by ISIS
DeleteEhyaa
ReplyDeleteThese teens will not listen. They want to experience life as quick as possible.
ReplyDeleteEnd time Children.
ReplyDeleteThey can never hear word.
I pray she return safely.

ReplyDeleteSerial killers everywhere , especially overseas, I pray she is found in one piece n returned to her family. This online thingy is a real danger one can't be too careful, too many wolves out dre.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I fear for the worse.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hope she is found. And alive too.
ReplyDeleteDese kids should know that Facebook is a potential Kidbappers',Peadophile and What have u Zone. Never take any stranger u meet on FB so seriously. Never go meet him or her.
Wonder just how many tragedies we wil have till dese kids learn.
Dem de hear word?
DeleteAll these oyibo children that think they know more than their elders.
Unfortunately, Nigerian children are beginning to follow suit in that bad attitude towards their guardians.
Kids dese days wanna grow up soo fast.
DeleteThis is why I am not too active on Facebook, there are just too many weirdos on FB. Hopefully by God's grace she will be found.
ReplyDeleteHhhhmmmm....may she be found in good health n condition. Facebook has been connecting people.....both in positive n negative way. It's a pity that some people take it as an avenue to perpetuate their evil thots and desires.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with teenage girls of nowadays shey they can't learn from other people's experience ni...can u imagine going to meet someone u just met on FB not minding if d person is a psychopath or a serial killer..people get mind o, I just pray she's found in one piece...
ReplyDeleteOne of the things my parents taught us when growing up that has helped us a lot is no matter where u r going to, always tell someone the exact place and address and who you are going to see, my mom would say even if you can't tell us cos you may be scared but tell one of your siblings!! I swear this has helped us, cos no matter where i'm going to or who i'm going to see, I always tell my younger sister cos you may never know whatll happen.. I think parents should instill this principle in their kids.. I hope she's safe and the angels are watching over her
ReplyDeleteMy mum's style. She'll even tell you to write it and hide it in any of her bag incase.
DeleteNice one
DeleteI hope she's found. Strangers are not to be trusted no matter how cool or nice the seem on social media. I hope that those who did not learn from Cynthia's saga will learn form this. My kid sis must read this...she can trust people for africa.

ReplyDeleteThe parents feared the worst. No dey hard all these men. They must have killed her
ReplyDeleteInstead of u as a school girl to face ur school, u chose to facebook. U av seen d end product o facing book.
ReplyDeleteSo many peeps are so naive. I have told several ladies many times that:
ReplyDelete1. You are more prone to SCAM (EVEN DANGER) on the social media (incl blogs) thus you have to be very smart. For Nigerians (esp Lagosians) always meet your stranger 'friend' in an open place say a fast food joint.
Call from a hidden place very close to the venue, call and tell him you are inside, then watch and see when and how he enters, if you notice any move, run for your life, else go in - give him an excuse for stepping outside.
When you are done, do not join him or tell him where you are heading, if possible delay a little as if you have an urgent call before leaving - NEVER JOIN HIM IN HIS CAR.
2. When you (M/F) order anything online (incl blogs) , insist on POD and meet in an open place as well, check your item very well before parting with your cash.
3. Anybody (M/F) can be bisexual if you give it a try and stay committed to it either by addiction or due to your gain (cash/satisfaction).
Some married peeps do not know that their spouses are sexually involved with same sex.
Please, people, let's mend our ways for posterity and fear of God.
Anyways, I do not know tom, do you?
And here I am tinking of going to meet a frnd I meet on pinbook. ChoI nw am comtemplating he has already sent me a first class ticket to Abuja hmmm.
ReplyDeleteOlosho
DeleteI hope you don't do it skin to skin with him when u reach.
DeleteLife is an adventure but be careful my dear.
DeleteDon't go and straf Koboless Sha!!
DeleteHmmm.....!
DeleteAshawo muo
DeletePervs everywhere going after babygirls. The idiot dat wanted to "fuchalam nwata '_tu' aja"(No interpretation pls) even opened a facebook page and was stealing her whatsapp pics and uploading to his page, and even tagged her 'engaged to'. God Almighty. Na God save me. The babygirl for jaaa comot from my tutelage.
ReplyDeleteI found an engagement ring in (beautiful n costly)her Hosiery Drawer after hrs of searching.
Only consolation was the notes and diary updates she left in there, many read Mum, I'm sorry blablabla. I nearly faint. Na me open gate for her. And my hubby kept warning me 'imeghepukwa, ije chuba'(if you open the gate and let out, you'll be d one to go searching to bring back).
For now, body don tell both parties. Me ma my eyes don clear. Advice to Mothers....please search, monitor and counsel. Giving them 'everything' is not enough. This is the era of interactive media. They watch all sorts and are equally 'excited'.
They wanna explore. Pray!
Come back home missing girl, your family needs you.
God is faithful!
Shush it this woman!
Deleteyour are becoming a nuisance here and because most people ignore u ,u think you are,making,sense.
always trying,too hard.
u came regaling us with lies about ur so,called long haired daughter and now its engagement ring u have found.and shame,allow u come here and blab.all in d name of trying to belong.
u have failed as a mother and u know,it just that ur twisted mind wont admit it...lol
get on ur knees and pray,for God's grace to teach u how to shut up sometimes.
this is no hating.just an honest observation.and don't,care how u perceive it.
Hun? The Fox does not lose sleep over the opinion of the sheep. Please spend some of the time you spent typing and breathing heavily down this my thread to read your Brighter Grammar.
DeleteYour syntax sucks.
Yuck!
Same story everyday. Really don't know when people will start learning.
ReplyDeleteI pray she returns safely.
With d high rate of serial killers nd psychos there,I fear d outcome,God take charge.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I just hope she's found alive and well....
ReplyDeleteMay God help us raise our kids right, and most of all, may they have the fear of God in them.
ReplyDeleteAmen
I pray she's found hale and hearty. This is another lesson to kids.
