Family's concern for runaway teen

8:34am Wednesday 24th May 2006 in Devizes By Joanne Moore

Parents of missing Devizes schoolgirl Zeanne Maughan-Smith are desperate for news of their daughter who went missing on Saturday.

Her mother Julie-Anne and stepfather Neil fear the 14-year-old Devizes School pupil may have become involved with a 28-year-old man after finding a text message on her mobile phone.

Zeanne ran off on Saturday morning after arranging to meet her mother in Devizes Market Place after a sleep-over at a friend's house on Friday night.

Mr Maughan-Smith of Martigny Road, Melksham said: "We can't sleep. Every time the phone rings we think it is going to be news about her. We just want to hear she is okay even if she does not want to come home straightaway. We just want to tell her we love her."

Zeanne has twin sisters Karieanne and Marantha, 17 and younger sisters Lauren, 12 and Anthena, five.
