The family of a young mother “in a vulnerable state of mind” who disappeared more than a week ago are pleading with the public for help. Paige Kelly, 27, was last confirmed to have left her home in Leigh, Manchester, last Tuesday, September 23 and never returned.
She left her son with her boyfriend and told him that she was going to visit her mother, but she never arrived. There was a reported sighting of Paige getting into a taxi in Leigh in the early hours of Wednesday, and another on St Helens Road in the town later that same morning. However, there have been no verified sightings, and loved ones say her disappearance is “completely out of character”.
She was wearing a grey knitted dress and a scarf, with no coat.
Her aunt Kate has said the family is “extremely concerned for her welfare” with them being “petrified that something could have happened to her”.
The family have been hard at work visiting pubs and shops in Leigh, St Helens and Warrington to put up flyers. They say they plan to do the same at local homeless shelters.
Kate said: “If anyone has seen or heard from Paige, can they please let us know or contact the police?
“She has not been seen since Wednesday and has had no contact with her family since the early hours of Wednesday morning.
“She left her son with her boyfriend, with whom they share a home in Leigh, and she was last seen between 2am and 4am on Wednesday morning, getting into a taxi in Leigh.
“The end address is unknown as of yet, and her phone is still currently off. There was also a possible sighting on St Helens Road in Leigh at around 8:30am on Wednesday morning.
“She was wearing a grey knitted dress and a scarf, with no coat. She is in a vulnerable state of mind.”
Kate added: “As advised by the police, I will be printing posters off and getting family and friends to help put them up.
“I want to thank the more than 1,000 people who have shared the appeal so far. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed.
“I thank every single one of you from the bottom of my heart.
“We are hoping that the more we get her face out there, the more chance we have of finding someone who has seen her.”
Anyone who sees Paige, or has information on his whereabouts, should call her family on 07511591005.
