A man has been arrested in connection to the disappearance of a teenage girl who went missing during a night out with her friends.
18-year-old Marnie Clayton was last seen outside the Atik nightclub in Bracknell, England, where witnesses spotted her arguing with a man.
Moments later, the teenager disappeared and failed to return home, sparking a major search and a manhunt for the suspect.
Since her Sunday’s disappearance, Marnie was found “safe and well” by Thames Valley Police some 30 miles away from where she was last seen.
At the same time, the police also arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of false imprisonment, battery, assault, and a breach of police bail.
As of this writing, the suspect, who is believed to be responsible for the teen’s disappearance, remains under questioning in police custody.
“I am delighted to be able to confirm that we have located Marnie safe and well and returned her home to her family, who were naturally extremely concerned for her,” Superintendent Michael Greenwood expressed after the girl was rescued and reunited with her family.
“This outcome is the result of fantastic work from officers and staff from both Thames Valley Police and our colleagues in Hampshire, when, working on information received from some of the hundreds of calls since Marnie was reported missing, we have managed to locate her.”
Greenwood added: “I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the many thousands of members of the public who shared our appeal to locate her and extend this also to the local and national media.
“It cannot be underestimated how important the information received was in locating Marnie safe and well.
“I am very proud of all of our officers and staff and colleagues in Hampshire for their work, and also all of the members of our local community who shared appeals and called us with the information which has helped us bring Marnie home.”
