After days of quietly cooperating with Ministry investigators, Mr. Damien Bénet and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Bénet, have announced that their twin daughters, Miss Claire and Miss Céleste Bénet, have gone missing. The children were last in the company of their nanny at the London piers on the night of April 22nd when both girls vanished from sight.

The investigators have not yet ruled kidnapping out of the struggle, but none of the local visitors or residents reported seeing any out-of-place individuals, nor heard any screaming. Signs of struggle have not been discovered at the scene. Mr. and Mrs. Bénet’s told Ministry officials that their daughters were both adventurous and prone to running off when their nanny’s back is turned.

The girls, both aged eleven, were expected to attend Hogwarts in the upcoming school year. They stand at approximately four and a half feet tall, have thin frames, and both possess auburn hair. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance is asked to come forward to speak with investigators.
