The teenager, who attends St. Aloysius College, was last seen on Tuesday, February 22nd, around 7:30 PM, leaving her residence in Triq San Ġorġ Preca. Her family has since offered a €1,000 reward for any information that could help locate her.

Emma’s Last Known Steps

Emma’s journey on that fateful evening began at her home. She left, heading towards Triq San Ġużepp, where she was last seen walking towards Birkirkara’s main square. Her family reported her missing the following day when she didn’t return home or attend school. Malta Police have since launched an extensive search operation, using CCTV footage and conducting house-to-house inquiries in the area.

The Birkirkara community has rallied around the Grech family, with many taking to social media to share Emma’s photograph and appeal for information. Local shops and businesses have also displayed posters with Emma’s image, showing their support for the family and their hope that she will be found safe and sound. The hashtag #FindEmmaGrech has been trending on Maltese social media platforms, with users sharing the poster and appealing for any information that could help locate the teenager.
