An update has been submitted by Greater Manchester Police on the 13-year-old girl missing from Bolton.
Lillia was first reported missing on 11 September 2026 and was then seen the following day, 12 September 2026, at around 1.50pm getting on a 247 bus from Trafford Centre. Police have now issued an update on her last sighting, which was in McDonald’s near Piccadilly Gardens on 13 September 2026 at around 8.20pm.
Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley of GMP’s Bolton district said: “Thank you to everyone who has been in touch – whether you have shared information or simply responded to our media appeal. Every step helps in our search towards bringing a missing girl home to her family.
“We would ask that anyone in Piccadilly Gardens on Sunday 13 September around 8:20pm checks any mobile phone footage they may have captured. Subsequently we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have seen Lillia on Saturday 12 September at around 1:50pm where we believe she boarded the 247 bus at the Trafford Centre.
“Sunday 13 September is the last confirmed sighting of Lillia and our investigation currently covers the whole of Greater Manchester with officers across the force being asked to support our enquiries. We are also mindful that Lillia could have travelled outside of the Manchester area and are keeping an open mind regarding this possibility.”
