Megan Stammers: Teenager and teacher not on return ferry

Megan's mother Danielle Wilson and stepfather Martin Stammers made an emotional appeal for her to return home

Police searching for an East Sussex teenager thought to be in France with a teacher from her school say the pair failed to use their return tickets.

Megan Stammers, 15, from Eastbourne, is believed to have crossed the Channel with Jeremy Forrest, 30, a maths teacher at Bishop Bell C of E School.
Police said return tickets for Sunday night were booked but not used.
Her mother Danielle Wilson said: "Sweetheart, I don't care what you've done or why, I just want you home."
Ms Wilson said Megan's disappearance was completely out of character.
"This is not her - she is not like this," she said as she made her appeal with Danielle's stepfather Martin Stammers.
Maths teacher Megan was reported missing at about midday on Friday after she failed to turn up for school.

Megan and Jeremy Forrest are thought to be travelling in his car

About nine hours later she is believed to have boarded a ferry from Dover to Calais with Mr Forrest, from Ringmer, East Sussex, in his black Ford Fiesta.
Mr Forrest is a maths teacher at the school that Megan attends, Bishop Bell C of E School in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Chief Inspector Jason Tingley said it was believed Megan had gone to France willingly.
"We need to hear that you are OK," he said. "Your family and friends are extremely worried, but you are not in any trouble.
"My message to Mr Forrest is that this may not have gone as you expected it to.
"Right now our priority it to know that Megan is safe and I would ask you to do the right thing and make contact with us.
"We will work with you to get you both safely back into the country."
