“Our primary aim now is to concentrate on Erika’s well–being and begin to piece together her movements since she left home.”
Erika went missing from her family’s house in the Darnall area of Sheffield – 30 miles from where she was eventually found – on August 5.
Earlier yesterday, Det Insp Tate, the officer in charge of the hunt for Erika, had appealed directly to her to get in touch and said that an arrested man was known to her.
The 37–year–old, who was arrested on suspicion of child abduction yesterday, was detained in Bradford and taken to Sheffield to be interviewed by officers from the South Yorkshire force.
Det Insp Tate said she believed the man had been in contact with Erika during the previous 96 hours.
The teenager, who is of Slovakian descent, had gone missing once before but not for such a long time, Det Insp Tate said.
She added that there was nothing to suggest a “street grooming” gang had targeted Erika.
Police had earlier released another man from Bradford, a 22–year–old arrested on suspicion of her abduction, on bail.
