Kim Whitehouse and Tracey Harris, here at the Pakenham skate park this week, have been across the state putting up flyers as they search desperately for their 14-year-old daughter Jade Robson-Whitehouse, who has been missing for more than two weeks. 145789 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS That same night Tracey went to put on a pair of shoes and when she returned to the room where the two girls had been, they were gone. “She (the friend) said can we go and pick her up because her mum couldn’t bring her and Kim went and picked her up,” Tracey told reporters earlier this month. “And on the way Jade said, which was another thing out of character, we’ve got to pick her up from Cran-

OVER the phone Tracey sounds exhausted. It’s late in the afternoon and she and her partner Kim are returning home on the train after spending another day looking for their missing 14-year-old daughter. It’s more than two weeks since Jade Robson-Whitehouse disappeared from her Junction Village home about 8pm on Saturday 3 October. Step-mum, Tracey Harris, and father, Kim Whitehouse, are desperate for any sign she’s okay. Speaking on Monday, Tracey said there had been no communication from Jade since she contacted a friend through Facebook about two days after she disappeared. This social media contact was confirmed by police earlier this month. Her parents have reason to believe Jade could be anywhere from Dandenong to Traralgon and have plastered posters throughout the state’s south east including at the Pakenham skate park, as they desperately cling to hope of finding her, As the 16th day of her disappearance drew to a close, Tracey told Star News she and Kim feared for their daughter’s safety who left without money or a phone. “We’re looking for her constantly, booking into motels, following every possible lead,” Tracey said. “We’re beside ourselves, we can’t sleep, can’t eat, when you do go to sleep it’s like an hour at a time. “Then you’re back up and back on the job. “We will not stop looking until we find her and know she’s safe.” On the night she went missing, Jade had invited another girl to her Junction Village house to sleep over, someone her parents had never met before and who it’s believed Jade had been contacting through social media.
