The family of an 85-year-old man who went missing a year ago today (19th December) in Scarborough have issued a renewed appeal.
Les Davis was last seen on CCTV leaving his home in the Dean Road area of Scarborough.
He's been described as five foot four inches tall, of small build and with short white/grey hair.
The family say he would also often wear a baseball cap, and was wearing one when he went missing.
North Yorkshire police are looking for anyone who may have seen Les a year ago around the William Street Coach Park, or along Marine Drive and Royal Albert Drive.
Looking for closure
Les' family said: "Les is desperately missed, and it's particularly difficult at this time of year. Even the smallest piece of information could lead to the answers we need, and give us some kind of closure."
The search continues
Inspector Craig Regan said: "It's one year since Les disappeared, and our search for him continues. Someone out there may have a crucial sighting or memory. If so, no matter how seemingly small or insignificant it is, we need to hear from you."
Anyone with information is being asked to contact the police by calling 101 and quoting reference NYP-21122024-0152.
