"Missing - yesterday at 2PM Barclays Centre/Fort Greene Brooklyn: my child, Jade Logue," he wrote.

"6'2″ 180 lime green hoodie dark green military parka."

He also posted a photo of Jade on Twitter last Friday, the day before Jade was found.

He wrote: "Jade, c'mon home, you sweet, beautiful, soul. We love and miss you dearly."

Donal has posted several messages on social media over the past two weeks asking for information.

Most of the posts were deleted.

His former partner Kasey Smith also posted a "come home" message.

Kasey said all she wanted was for Jade to be at home.
