Police in West Berkshire have discovered the car of a man who has been missing from his Kent home since Tuesday (April 20).

Thames Valley Police appealed earlier on Wednesday for the public’s help to trace missing Doug Carroll.

In a statement, Thames Valley Police said this evening: "Ongoing investigations have located Mr Carroll’s vehicle near the Ridgeway at Compton in West Berkshire."

They are still seeking Doug and they say that they want to "make sure he is well".

He is believed to have last been seen wearing dark jogging trousers or shorts and a hooded jumper.

Investigating officer Sergeant Stuart McMaster, based at Abingdon police station, said: “Mr Carroll was originally reported missing from the Tunbridge Wells area of Kent, but his car has been located in West Berkshire.

“We are extremely concerned for his welfare and want to make sure that he is well.

“I am urging anybody who believes that they have seen Mr Carroll to call the police immediately on 999, quoting reference number 43210168920.”

It is also believed he may have a black Adidas baseball cap and black sunglasses.

Residents in Buckinghamshire are being urged to keep a look out for a man who has been missing for almost a week.

Originally Berkshire residents were urged to keep a look out for him, but now TVP have updated their appeal by asking Bucks residents to do the same.

In a tweet yesterday (Saturday, April 24), TVP said: "New information in investigation to find Doug Carroll.

"Appeal to anyone in Henley, Marlow and Wycombe to keep a lookout for Doug.

"We believe it also possible that Doug may have travelled to Aldworth, Compton, Streatley and Goring."

Residents in Oxfordshire have also been asked to get in touch with the police if they see Doug.

Still no news.

This is a big guy, so hardly unnoticeable. I do hope this is not going to be another Richard Okorogheye...
 
Poignant message online saying how his family are in "absolute turmoil". Trouble is, if he has come to harm somewhere off that Ridgeway footpath, at 87 miles long you are going to need resources that the police don't have to scour every foot along the way.
 
Partner of missing Tunbridge Wells man Doug Carroll who has been missing for more than 2 weeks appeals for information

Concern continues to grow for the welfare of a man who has now been missing for more than two weeks.

Doug Carroll, who is from Tunbridge Wells, was last seen on April 20 on the day he was due to start a new job.

However the 29-year-old did not go to work, but returned home. Later his partner Emma Tapp came back to find he was gone.

It was believed Doug may have travelled to Berkshire, and Thames Valley Police later found his grey Peugeot 207 on The Ridgeway near the villages of Aldworth and Compton.

Despite renewing their appeals for information, Mr Carroll remains missing and police say they "remain very concerned for his welfare".

His partner Emma says she has been left "lost and confused" by his disappearance.

"He had gone off for a new job that morning," she said. "That was not going to work out, and he came home. When I got home he was just gone.

"I just knew something was wrong."

Ms Tapp explained how Mr Carroll, who had been out of work for a number of months, had struggled with his mental health in the past but said he had made a lot of progress dealing with it.

"It's just such a shock," the 30-year-old said. "We don't know what's going through his head.

"We thought that he was around here, but he had made it to Compton where his car was found. Since then we have heard nothing.

"It's such a huge area. He was born there but only spent a couple of years there. There's no friends or family.

"We just want to know he is safe. We just want to know he is OK. We would love him home, but it's just knowing he's OK, he can contact anyone."
