Schoolgirl who ran away with married teacher 'could be anywhere in Europe' Megan Stammers, the 15-year-old who is believed to have run off to France with her married maths teacher, could now be "anywhere in Europe," police said tonight. Officers plan to ask the teenager's friends if they were given warning that she planned to disappear with Jeremy Forrest, 30. Detectives urged Megan's classmates not to be scared to hand over any information. Officers also released a security video showing the pair holding hands and walking arm in arm aboard a ferry from Dover to Calais at 9.30pm last Thursday. Chief Inspector Jason Tingley, of Sussex police, said: "We know she was in France sometime over the weekend. She could be anywhere in Europe now. We are worried because she is a 15-year-old and she should be in school today. She should be with her family. Mr Tingley said his team was working with Interpol, a liaison officer in France, the French Missing Persons" Bureau and other agencies in Europe. He added: "At this time our foreign liaison is focused on raising awareness of the pair and gathering information about where they could be." Megan is believed to have travelled voluntarily with Mr Forrest but is not thought to have re-entered the UK using their return ferry tickets, which were booked for Sunday night. Today, it emerged that police and teachers were warned of concerns about Megan's friendship with Mr Forrest before she vanished. Her classmates at Bishop Bell Church of England school in Eastbourne, East Sussex, reported seeing Megan and Mr Forrest holding hands on a flight back from a school trip to Los Angeles in February. Despite their concerns, Mr Forrest was allowed to continue teaching, but he was reportedly due to be suspended last Friday. Sussex Police confirmed that its officers were contacted by East Sussex County Council last week over reports of the relationship. One of Megan's friends said she was angry that the authorities had not protected the schoolgirl. Speaking of Megan's relationship with Mr Forrest, an amateur musician from Ringmer, near Lewes, she told the Daily Mail: "They would always text each other.
