The family of a man missing from Milton Keynes have launched new appeals to the public for help in locating him.

Thomas, who is 26-years-old, has been missing from the Chester Close area of Bletchley since around 12.30am on Sunday 6 October.

Despite widespread and ongoing searches, Thames Valley Police have so far been unable to locate him, and today, his mother and partner have launched a further appeal to reach out to the community for help.

Thomas’s mother, Deborah, said, “We urge anybody who is out and about walking especially dog walkers to please keep an eye open for Thomas.

“He prefers to be outside in secluded places away from the public eye.

“Thomas if you hear or see this please come home we are all missing you and love you so much.

“Lots of love mum and family.”

His partner, Casey, added, “I would just like to say please don’t give up on Tom. Please keep sharing and searching, keeping your eyes open to help bring him home where he belongs with his family and with his children.

“Tom if you read this, please know I love you so much and the kids are really missing their daddy.

“I can’t do this alone I really need you back, the kids are heartbroken that they don’t have their dad at the moment.

“We want to get you the help you need to carry on living life to watch our babies grow up, they need you Tom, I need you and we love you.”

The search area for Thomas has been widened to rural areas around Bletchley, Newton Longville, Mursley and Great and Little Brickhill.

The Mounted Section will be in the area of Newton Longville and Mursley today as the search continues for Thomas, who is 6ft tall with a slim build.”

He often wears black tracksuit bottoms and black jumpers and a blue hooded top, and also wears black Adidas trainers with three stripes on them.

Detective Chief Inspector Emily Shepherd said: “Despite extensive searches across Milton Keynes, Bletchley, the Brickhills and surrounding areas, we have not been able to locate Thomas.

“Naturally, our concern for his safety is increasing day by day, and so we are again re-appealing today.

“Do you think you may have seen Thomas at any point after 6 October? If so, you can report possible sightings via our dedicated missing persons’ portal, or call us on 101.

“If you believe you see Thomas, please call us immediately on 999, quoting reference 43240480455.

“Do you know other areas where he may frequent? Any piece of information, no matter how insignificant you think this may be, may help us to locate him.

“Thomas has not taken his mobile phone with him, and he is known to sometimes walk long distances.

“I would once again reiterate my appeal to anybody on the Racecourse of Saints Estates in Bletchley to please check CCTV, dash-cams or door-bell footage and get in touch with us if you think it has captured anything that can help locate Thomas.

“Similarly, if you live in the Great and Little Brickhill areas, please check any footage you have and contact us if you think you have any information that can assist us.

“I would also again urge members of the public to check sheds, garages and outbuildings in case Thomas has taken refuge somewhere.

“Thomas, if you see this appeal, please call us. We have officers and staff who can help you. You are not in any trouble at all, but your family and we are extremely concerned for you.

“Please contact us to let us know where you are.”
