CCTV on Oxford Street captures the last time the family saw the teenager

The family of a 17-year-old tourist who went missing in the West End on the 10th June have made a desperate appeal for help in finding her.

Emaan Shah got separated from her family while shopping on Oxford Street. She has not been seen since, the family had been due to fly home to India that evening.

Tanvier Shah is hoping against hope his teenage daughter has run away, the thought that something more sinister has happened to her is tearing his family apart.

She was captured walking along Oxford Street on CCTV with her mother on Monday afternoon with her father and two brothers just a few feet ahead. It is the last time the family saw the teenager. A few minutes after the images were captured Emaan had disappeared.

The family who were due to fly back to India the same night frantically searched several shops and then went back to their hotel hoping Emaan had gone there. After reporting the missing teenager to the police they desperately continued the search.
