Concerns after child goes missing again

Susannah Brown hasn’t been home since Friday

UPDATE: Wednesday, June 5, 7.43am

POLICE say Susannah has been found safe and well.

POLICE believe the friends of a missing girl are helping her stay missing by providing her with bus passes, telephones and accomodation.

Susannah Brown… at Woden

Susannah Brown, 11, who has been reported missing several times in the past, went missing again on Friday (May 31) evening.

She spent Friday night at a Woden hotel with a friend, and was last seen getting off a route 6 bus on Yamba Drive, at about 5.15pm on Saturday.

She is described as Caucasian in appearance, about 165cm (5’5”) tall, with a medium build. She now has dark brown or black hair. On Saturday afternoon she was wearing a black tracksuit top with white stripes down the sleeves, black pants with ripped knees and black shoes.

Tuggeranong station sergeant Greg O’Ryan says while it appears Susannah doesn’t wish to be found, her safety is the primary concern of police.

“We have several police officers, and other police resources involved in the latest search for this 11-year-old girl,” he says.

“Some people may think it’s harmless to give a runaway a place to stay for a night. But simply put, she is 11-years-old and when the whereabouts of a child is not known, there is always that increased risk of harm or misadventure.

“I would ask anyone she asks for a place to stay to let police know her whereabouts immediately.”

Anyone who has seen Susannah or has any information about her whereabouts is urged to contact ACT Policing on 131 444.
