We need your help to identify four people who might have vital information to help us find Martyn Richardson.
Through our enquiries, we believe a group of three people walking dogs were in the Bocking area around the time Martyn was last seen.
The three people were in The Chase, walking from Dorewards Avenue towards Dorewards Farm, at about 8.45pm on Saturday 24 August.
We have also identified another person wearing dark clothing, walking alone, at around the same time.
This person was also in The Chase, walking from Dorewards Farm before turning into the footpath towards Broad Road.
Inspector Phil Jackson said:
“We need to identify these four people as quickly as possible to help us find Martyn.
“They may have seen something significant. If you know who these walkers are, or you think this was you walking in The Chase at 8.45pm on Saturday night, please contact us.
“As we said at the weekend, we are growing increasingly concerned for Martyn with each day since he was last seen.
“We remain open minded about what’s happened to him and our aim is still to bring him home safely.
“Our partners and the public have been incredibly helpful so far and we’re asking you to help us again.”
If you have any information to help us identify and speak to these people, or any other information including CCTV and dash cam or other footage in relation to this incident, please get in touch quoting incident 324 of 25 August.
