Louise Faller - missing since Monday

Louise Katrina Faller had not been seen since Monday, when she disappeared from the family home in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

The 15-year-old had moved to the city 18 months ago from Cardigan in west Wales, to live with her father, Carl.

Her stepmother Rachel Faller, 36, said Louise had last been seen after reading a bedtime story to her younger stepsister.

The family discovered Louise was missing on Tuesday morning.

Mrs Faller said Louise was feeling down before the half-term holidays after being teased by other pupils at St Luke's School in the city.

She is also thought to be have been upset by her father's call-up by the Territorial Army to the Gulf.

Louise was born in Portsmouth but moved to Wales with her mother when she was a baby and she considers it as her home.
