FOUR weeks ago today, 14-year-old Alice Gross was last seen on CCTV walking along the canal towpath under Trumpers Way bridge, heading towards Hanwell.

Since 4.26pm on Thursday, August 28, there have been no further sightings of Alice.

There is a £20,000 reward in place for any information that helps police find her.

Alice's family said today: "Alice has been missing for four weeks now. We are desperately concerned about her welfare and worry constantly about what may have happened to her.

"We are appealing to Alice. If you are out there, come home where you belong. We love you and we miss you.

"We want to see your smile again, we want to hear you sing again, to see you cuddle Peggy, or sit at the piano. We want to be a family again.

"The whole family, all your friends, the community and the police are united in trying to bring you home.

"We are also appealing to anyone out there, who knows anything about Alice's disappearance or where she is, to come forward now.

"We cannot believe Alice is not at home with us and every morning brings new agony. We dearly love our daughter and Nina dearly loves her sister.

"Please, please help us."
