“Today, we are releasing two new photographs of Doug and are again appealing for the public’s help in tracing him. His family and friends are naturally extremely concerned for his welfare.

“We think when Doug left his vehicle on The Ridgeway, there was a possible sighting of him leaving on foot in the general direction of Aldworth, but there have been no confirmed sightings of him.

“I am urging anybody who was in the area of the Ridgeway around 21 April and believes that they saw Doug to please make contact with police.

“If you have any CCTV footage from the area at the time of Doug’s disappearance, please check this and if it has captured anything that may be Doug, please do get in touch with police.

“We are trying to piece together Doug’s movements after reaching The Ridgeway, but despite best efforts to locate him, or find out where he may have gone, we have been unable to do so.

“I would like to make a direct appeal to Doug, if he sees this message. You are not in any trouble whatsoever, but we want to know you are safe.

“Please contact either the police or your family to let us know where you are and that you are safe.”
