Police hunt for missing seven-year-old boy and sister last seen in Southport with mother
Brody Mann, 7, and Sienna Mann, 9, were last seen Sept. 7 with their mother and her partner in Southport; police urge the public to come forward with any sightings.
Merseyside Police have launched a search for seven-year-old Brody Mann and his nine-year-old sister Sienna Mann, who were last seen 12 days ago in Southport with their mother, Joanne Bearman, and her partner, Dean Speakman. The siblings were reportedly spotted at the Albert and Victoria Hotel on September 7, carrying two suitcases and two carrier bags.
Brody is described as about 4 feet tall with a slim build and brown hair. Sienna is also about 4 feet tall and slim, with long brown hair. The children are originally from Essex, and police say they are known to stay in hotels along Lord Street in the seaside town.
There have been several reported sightings of Brody and Sienna in Southport since September 7, according to investigators. Merseyside Police have urged anyone who sees the children to call 999 so officers can verify their safety. Members of the public can also report sightings via the online portal, or contact 101 or @MerPolCC on X to relay information.
Authorities say the investigation remains ongoing as they follow up on possible sightings and review security footage and hotel records in the area. Officers are coordinating with regional partners to locate Bearman, Speakman, and the two children, who have not been seen since the initial sighting at the hotel.
This case underscores the ongoing effort by UK police to resolve missing-child incidents where family members are involved, with standard protocols urging rapid reporting of any information that could help locate the children and ensure their safety.
