A Gold Coast mother has pleaded for help to find her daughter and a friend who disappeared four days ago.

Emma Howarth, 13, and Holly Goodwin, 14, were last seen at Emma’s home in Mudgeeraba about 7pm on Thursday.

Emma’s mother, Elsa Howarth, spent the weekend searching the streets and has pleaded on Facebook for help, saying the girls could be with Holly’s father.

A police spokesman said investigators were considering all possibilities. NSW and Victorian police had been alerted about the missing teens, he said.

Howarth posted on Facebook on Sunday that she had been “stalking the streets looking for my missing daughter”.

“A special thank you to all of our friends who have taken to the streets ... I have not enough words to express my gratitude,” she said.

More than 6,000 people have shared Howarth’s post asking for assistance to find the girls.
