‘Just come to us – come back home. We are here, we are waiting and we will never give up on you – our arms are always open.
‘Wherever you are now, you know how much you mean to us so please find a way to get back to us. Mum loves you. Dad loves you. Your sisters are in bits.
‘We cannot carry on like this. Your nanny, your friends, everybody is just rallying around wanting to know how you are. We want to be able to tell them you are okay.’
Her father Peter urged Tomas ‘to do the right thing’ and bring his little girl home.
