And this shows how someone can be missing then found - without any official word to that effect which WS require. This gentleman WAS found last year - and now sadly missing again - but has remained on the Missing section throughout. It would be good to hear from a mod on this.

This happens occasionally but we don't typically change WS requirements related to official confirmation.

The reason we require 'official' info is that if we were to allow social media or other less reliable sources, some of that information has been known to be wrong in the past. There are even times when, depending on the circumstances, we may decide to allow another source, but that is only after a complete review of the information and vetting of the source (i.e. where possibly the MP or a family member contacts us and we are able to determine they are who they claim to be).

Thank you for your response.

Hopefully in this instance the gentleman will be found again.
