Your support makes all the difference.A man is being questioned on suspicion of abduction after the Essex schoolgirl Sally Claydon was found in Aberdeen. Police had been hunting for the 13-year-old since her disappearance on 16 November. Airports and ports had been put on alert amid fears that she may have tried to travel to Spain.
It was thought that Sally, who looked mature for her age, may have wanted to return to the Costa del Sol with a 47-year-old British man she met whilst helping in her mother's bar in Fuengirola.
Sally and her mother had returned from Spain on 3 November but the teenager disappeared two weeks later with nothing but her passport and summer clothes.
