In a now-deleted footage, the five friends were captured traveling in a white VW Tiguan moments before their car crashed. The video was shared by the family members on social media. According to a Daily Mail article, relatives of the deceased youngsters have said that "none of them have been active on social media" since that night.
Russon's mother Anna Certowicz said that she drove around the Gwent and Cardiff areas, desperately searching for her daughter. She said, "They didn't seem to care. I had to drive to Cardiff to knock on doors myself because they were doing s*d all. They just didn't seem to think it was worth investigating. It was so frustrating. I think they assumed that Sophie was hungover somewhere, but she's a sensible girl who works in a bank and hasn't taken a day off for three years. She's not someone who's out clubbing in Cardiff all the time. On Friday nights she's more likely to be babysitting so other people can go out."
Certowicz added, "She wouldn't just vanish like this unless something was wrong. The police asked me to stop ringing but at the end of the day I'm a mum I'm going to worry. Her little sister is worrying too, she's only 13 and she's wondering where Sophie is." The mother also revealed that Russon had known Smith and Ross since childhood. She stated, "They're incredibly close, they message every day. We worked out earlier that this is the first time in 347 days that Sophie hasn't replied to her. Sophie, Eve, and Darcy have been friends since they were 10 years old, I know the families and they haven't heard anything either."
