While she has been reported missing on one previous occasion, the circumstances of her disappearance are completely out of character. Kayleigh has Aspergers and is described as vulnerable.

Chief Superintendent Tim Forber, Divisional Commander of Bury Police, said: “Kayleigh is a vulnerable young woman and the circumstances in which she has gone missing are totally out of character.

“Concern is definitely growing for Kayleigh so it’s really important that people take a moment out of their day to think whether they may have seen her.

“That is why we have released images of the last known times Kayleigh was seen.

“Kayleigh is especially naïve and not as mature or street-wise as most girls of her age and that has contributed to our heightened concern for her welfare.

“We have had a fantastic response from the public following our first appeal and we would also like to thank the local media for their continued support.

“Social media is likely to play a key role in the search so I am asking people to share our Twitter and Facebook messages on this as much as possible.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 8222.
