The Power Of Twitter: Celebrity Tweets Help Find Missing Girl

A missing 14-year old girl who vanished before Christmas has been found safe after celebrities joined forces on Twitter to help trace her, after the police stated they had “exhausted normal lines of inquiry”.

Serena Beakhurst, 14, was located in the Wandsworth area of south London in the early hours, the Metropolitan Police said. She was said to be well.

The girl vanished three weeks ago, and the likes of Stephen Fry, footballer Rio Ferdinand and Sarah Brown – wife of ex-prime minister Gordon Brown – all posted links to appeals for information about her.
