Authorities are intensifying efforts to locate a 14-year-old girl who has been missing for two weeks. Lexi was last seen leaving her home in Houghton Regis on June 24.
A close family friend, Jessica Fensome, released a video message appealing directly to Lexi, urging her to get in touch with her mother, the police, or Fensome herself. "Lexi, your family and friends all miss you. Please get in contact with your mum, the police or me and come home," Fensome stated. "You're not in any trouble; we just want you home safe."
Bedfordshire Police have released Ring doorbell footage from the day Lexi disappeared in an effort to prompt recollections from anyone who may have seen her. Lexi is described as being 5 feet 2 inches tall, with a fair complexion, blue eyes, and long, straight ginger hair. She also has a silver nose ring.
When she was last seen, Lexi was reportedly wearing pale blue cycling shorts, a dark grey t-shirt, and black sliders.
Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Rivers of Bedfordshire Police echoed the call for public assistance. "We are still urging anyone who knows of Lexi's whereabouts or has seen her to please get in contact with us," Rivers said. "We are growing increasingly concerned for her and want to reunite her with her family. Lexi – please contact us, Jessica or your family; we want you to return home safe and well."
