As concern grows for missing pregnant teenager Kacey-Rae, a number of questions remain as officers attempt to piece together her whereabouts.

He was last seen wearing a blue McKenzie tracksuit.

Bag mystery
CCTV of the teenagers appears to show that they were travelling without any bags. The pair were last seen together on November 23 at 5.30 pm in Kings Square, Gloucester city centre. At 8pm that same evening, they were seen at Gloucester train station, in what is understood to be the last confirmed sighting.
It’s believed that heavily pregnant Kacey-Rae, originally from Walsall but currently residing in Cinderford, Forest of Dean, had been attempting to travel back to the West Midlands with ‘George’, said to be from Wolverhampton. Gloucestershire. Officers have stated that they “urgently” want to hear from anyone who may have seen the pair or might know where they are.
Gloucestershire Constabulary has shared CCTV images of Kacey-Rae and George via social media pages, appealing to members of the public to help locate them as officers were “concerned for their welfare”. A Gloucestershire Police spokesperson previously stated, “Officers are growing increasingly concerned for Kacey-Rae’s welfare. She is heavily pregnant… enquiries are ongoing to locate them.”
Haunting Facebook post
On October 11, a few weeks before she vanished, Kacey-Rae uploaded a post to Facebook, offering to give her clothes away for free. The expectant mother wrote: “Anyone know anyone or is in need of clothes? A few women’s clothes here (I’m still going through them, so might be more) that someone can collect if they are in need! “They aren’t the best and aren’t immaculate, but would definitely help someone in need out, will wash before collection. message me if you’re interested x.”
This post is seemingly a simple act of generosity, or perhaps an example of “nesting” behaviour, whereby mums-to-be may begin to clean and organise their homes while awaiting their arrival. However, given that this marks one of Kacey-Rae’s last public interactions before disappearing, this post has since taken on a haunting quality.
As per Kacey-Rae’s Facebook profile, she is due to give birth next month. She first shared her pregnancy announcement on Facebook on May 28, posting a picture of her positive pregnancy test alongside a babygro emblazoned with her ultrasound picture, plus the following excited message: “Not every gift can be wrapped in bows. Some have 10 tiny fingers & 10 tiny toes. Baby Follows due December 2025!!”
Fiancé’s hidden face
On September 30, Kacey-Rae announced her engagement to a boy called ‘Jordan Follows’, who also used the pregnancy announcement as his cover photo. Her fiancé’s face is obscured in all online photographs, even on his own page. One snap of the young couple kissing has his face hidden behind a heart emoji. It is not clear whether Jordan and ‘George’ are the same person.
Kacey appears to have several public Facebook pages. One shows a scan with a due date of December 26, Boxing Day, meaning that she is just a matter of weeks off giving birth.
The Mirror understands that this case has now been passed on to West Midlands Police. When contacted for comment by the Mirror, a West Midlands Police spokesperson told us: “We’d ask anyone with information about the whereabouts of Kacey-Rae and George to contact us via 999 and quote PID: 392865.”
Enquiries are ongoing to locate them, and officers are now asking anyone who has seen Kacey-Rae or George or has any information on their whereabouts to call Gloucestershire Police on 101 and quote incident 344 of November 23. If you can see them at the time of calling, dial 999 and ask for the police. You can also give information through the Missing People charity on 116 000.
