Amy Hall went missing from her home in Hayfield, Derbyshire, at around 1pm on Thursday, September 9. Derbyshire Police say remains have been discovered in the Birch Vale area near New Mills, in the Peak District. They are believed to those of the 17-year-old, though formal identification is yet to take place.

Members of Amy’s family, including mum Nicky Hall and grandfather Stewart Turnbull, shared their devastation after the discovery.

Mr Turnball told the Sun: “We are all devastated.

“She was a lovely girl. An angel.”

Ms Hall also shared an update on Facebook which thanked everyone who helped search for Amy.

She wrote: “I can’t believe I am saying this but I feel I have to due to people organising searches and posters.

“Amy Hall’s body was found earlier. She has died. Sorry to tell people this way.

“Many thanks for everything everyone has done. Nicky Hall, Amy’s mum xxx.”

Other friends and family paid tribute to Amy online too.

One person wrote: “Rip Amy, I know we became friends for a short while, I was lucky to have met you.

“I’ll always remember our laughs at work on Sundays.

“So sorry for your loss Amy’s family and friends x.”

A Facebook page that was set up when the teenager went missing has now been renamed RIP Amy Hall.

Derbyshire Police added there were no “suspicious circumstances” around the discovery of the body.

They said: “The body of what is believed to be missing teenager Amy Hall has been found in the Birch Vale area, near New Mills.

“Amy’s family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this time.

“Formal identification of the 17-year-old is yet to take place, officers are preparing a file for the coroner and there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.”

An urgent appeal was launched last week following her sudden disappearance.

Police said she was last seen wearing black leggings, a dark navy jacket, white Nike trainers.

She was also reported to be carrying a beige shoulder bag.

Amy was described as being 5ft 3 with auburn, shoulder length hair and blue eyes.
