Fears are growing for a 16-year-old schoolgirl who may have gone missing from her home – with a convicted paedophile.
Teenager Holly Whitmore, disappeared last Saturday and is believed to be with Brandon Cunningham – a sex offender previously jailed for trying to abduct a child while dressed as a police officer.
Cunningham, 22, was caged for 15 months in December 2010 after he approached the schoolboy impersonating a CID detective where he searched the teenager and ‘arrested’ him.

The pervert was only thwarted by quick-thinking shopkeeper Harekrishna Patel who became suspicious and confronted Cunningham before calling police .
Having served his sentence, Cunningham came out of prison last year. He was reported missing from his new home in Corby, Northants., on September 2.
A week later, Holly was reported missing from her house is Rushden, Northants., by her worried parents.
Police said concerns were growing for Holly and that they were anxious to find the pair – who know each other but are not a couple
A spokeswoman for Northamptonshire Police said: “Officers would like to appeal directly to Brandon and Holly to make contact with the police or a family member to confirm their welfare.
“Anyone who thinks they may have seen Brandon or Holly, or has information as to their whereabouts, is asked to call Northamptonshire Police.”
Brandon is described as white, 5ft 8in tall, of slim build with blue eyes and brown hair.
Holly is described as white, 5ft 3in tall, of slim build with brown eyes and dark hair dyed blonde.
