South-west wide appeal for missing teenager and baby

 Police have issued an appeal for the public’s help to trace a teenage girl and her 11-month-old daughter who have gone missing.

Concern is growing for Tinishya Marshall, aged 14 and her daughter Sophie who went missing from the Greystoke Avenue area in Southmead, Bristol on Friday (September 3).

Tinishya said that she was going out to the shops and took her daughter in a pink pram. She was spoken to shortly afterwards by a relative and reminded that Sophie’s feed was due. At 3.30pm Tinishya and her daughter were seen in Greystoke Avenue but have not been seen since.

Tinishya is described as a white woman, aged 14 years old, 5ft 2ins tall, of heavy build with dark brown shoulder length hair, which is usually tied up.  When last seen she was wearing a black velour track suit with a white top underneath. Her daughter was wearing a red velour track suit.

There is growing concern about the welfare of the baby as none of the child’s belongings or change of clothes were taken, except for her pink pram.

It is possible that she maybe with another man who has also gone missing at the same time and is known to her.  He is described as a white man, aged 17, 5ft 5 ins tall, short mousy brown hair, wearing black tracksuit bottoms, a white T-shirt and white trainers.

Police believe that Tinisya may be in the Devon area - they have asked Tinishya or anyone spotting her and her daughter to contact them.

Anyone able to help is asked to contact police at Southmead on 0845 4567000.
