Found Deceased UK - Jesus Moreno, 41, Spanish co-founder of Piglove Brewing Co in Leeds, W Yorks, last seen getting bus to Harrogate at 6.17am, 1 Aug 2022

The JM piece starts at around 45:10 in the programme (as shown on My5 on demand - unfortunately you will have to wade through approx 15 mins of adverts to get to it).

The most interesting bit (to me) was JM’s ex-wife and brother are shown viewing the saw mill cctv footage of JM walking south on the A61 past the ‘road narrows’ sign with a yellow surround on the south side of Harewood Bridge. As they watch, JM’s ex-wife says “You can notice his hesitation - ‘should I go through the.. river? Or should I just go the other way?’”

So the impression is that he hesitated when passing the entrance to the footpath along the south bank of the Wharfe, but then carried on along the road. Unfortunately we don’t get to see where he entered the field, or which direction he went after that.

A couple of stills from the saw mill cctv shown in the C5 programme - JM arrowed in each. Apologies for poor quality - C5 blocks screen capture so it's a handheld phone photo of a video of a phone video.

 

[shadwell]

The video shows JM walking along the line of the red arrow in the streetview image (June 2022) below, so it’s possible that he ducks through the gap in the hedge (yellow arrow) rather than continuing down to the gate. If so, even with the narrowness of the gap, anyone with access to the full video should be able to ascertain whether he then heads back towards the river (IMO).

Didn't I say that he would be found in the water or close in that area.

It is always the same, police say they comb area and nothing found but body turns up weeks, months later.

Damn. Drone video (below) suggests the search centred on the field and copse north of the Wharfe:

How sad

I guess the police restarted the search for him after a high spring tide on the River Wharfe (assuming it is tidal)

I doubt it’s tidal at that point, it’ll be interesting to know how far from the Wharfe he was but from aerial photos it’s not land that would be affected by the river. I’m baffled as to why they searched there again yesterday, having said last month they’d exhausted the area. Anyway, I’m very glad he was found even if not the outcome we’d hope for.

There's no other bridges around there for a few miles, a footbridge at Linton is the closest, I think.

He must have swam/waded across the river or he'd have been on CCTV.

BBM - A tip following the Dan Walker programme on Thursday evening? Or maybe just going over the fields again now that any crops are gone and before the undergrowth grows up too thickly again in the summer?

Could be - the drone video shows the field to the north, but no sign of any tents, forensics vans etc, so I guess we can’t know for sure that he wasn’t simply found behind the hedge where he was last seen on the south side of the bridge.

I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but anyone else find it odd that for over 8 months the police are allegedly scouring the area and find nothing, then less then 24 hours after the case had been featured on national TV... they find a body?

 

[Pinkizzy]

It looks like the show is a good idea

 

[SeaPriestess]

Appalling it took the police this long to find him so close to where he was last spotted. It felt from the get go they didn't want to invest any time into searching for him - compare with the circus associated with finding Nicola Bulley.

I have just added Jesus to this thread.

RIP Jesus.
At least family and friends finally have some closure. It's very sad. Not the closure they wanted.
