Hayley Bennett, a family friend who has helped organise the searches, said: “The family has been overwhelmed with all the support they’ve received, we all have. We’ve covered Leyland Road, Queen’s Park, Pit Top, Rowley Lake, Todmorden Road and the Coal CLough Lane area. We’ve used more than 400 flyers but we’ve still not found anything. We’re looking for anybody who can help print us more flyers.”
