He was reported missing in Easington on June 4
Police have this week confirmed no further developments have been made in the search for an elderly East Yorkshire man more than six months after he went missing. Malcolm, 89, was reported missing from his home in Easington on Wednesday, June 4.
Since then, “extensive enquiries” have been carried out in efforts to find him. In June, Humberside Police said they conducted searches of the surrounding countryside with specialist teams. They also reviewed hours of CCTV and doorbell footage along with door-to-door enquiries.
At the time, Chief Inspector Owen Stafford said: “Since Malcolm was reported missing, we have carried out extensive enquiries involving large-scale searches over a 7.5km² area of countryside with specialist trained teams, scent dogs, the Underwater Search Unit, and support from partner agencies, as well as Malcolm’s family and friends. We have reviewed hours of CCTV and doorbell footage and undertaken house-to-house enquiries in an effort to understand Malcolm’s movements and the direction he may have taken.”
He added: “Our work to find Malcolm remains ongoing, and we are committed to doing everything we can to provide answers for his family and loved ones, who are being supported throughout this difficult time.”
The last confirmed sighting of Malcolm was on Westfield Close at around 8.10am on Wednesday, June 4, before he was seen heading west along Hull Road at around 8.15am.
Anyone with any information that could help is urged to contact Humberside Police on 101 quoting log 177 of June 4.
