Detective chief inspector, Lisa Griffin listening to the call recording and making an public appealPolice are urgently looking for and launched an urgent appeal to trace a three-year-old girl who called the ambulance service and told her mother had fallen and was not moving.

West Yorkshire Police has told the young girl made the lengthy 999 call at 10.53am yesterday but, despite extensive inquiries since then, officers remain unable to identify from where it was made.

A spokesman has told she gave her name as Ellie and told operators her mother was called Stacey Hall. She also told the 999 operators that her house number was 23 and had “Court” in the street name. And as the front and back door were locked, so she could not get out of the house.

She also told during the 33 minutes long call that her grandparents lived in Bridlington.

West Yorkshire’s homicide and major enquiry team, Detective chief inspector, Lisa Griffin has appealed: “We urgently need the public’s help to identify exactly where Ellie and her mum are. We are hoping that someone out there who knows the family will recognise the pieces of information that the ambulance call taker managed to get from her and will get in touch. We are treating this situation extremely seriously as it appears we have a woman in need of urgent medical attention and a vulnerable little girl who will also need our help. I want people to listen very carefully to Ellie’s voice and to think about the pieces of information that we have and let us know immediately if they recognise who Ellie and her mum are and, most importantly, where they live so we can get help to them.”

A devised team of detectives has been making wide-ranging enquiries to trace the family, including checks on police systems, hospitals, and the public register of births.
