Police are searching for a 65-year-old man who went missing on New Year's Eve.
Aled Glynne Davies, the former editor of BBC Radio Cymru, was last seen in the Pontcanna area of Cardiff on Saturday evening, South Wales Police said.
He is around 6ft (1.83m) tall and was last seen wearing a dark green coat, dark green hat and glasses, the force added.
 
#UPDATE | We are continuing to appeal for information concerning the whereabouts of Aled Davies who has not been seen since New Year’s Eve.

Superintendent Michelle Conquer said: “Since Aled was reported missing early Sunday morning we continue to pursue all lines of enquiry, we are currently searching parks, woodland and local waterways led by a specialist police search advisor and continue to liaise closely with Aled’s family.

“We have implemented a thorough and extensive trawl of available CCTV including local authority, commercial, domestic and door-bell footage. The ongoing enquiries are being directed by a Senior Investigating Officer.

“We are very concerned for Aled’s welfare and continue to appeal to anyone who has any information which might help us to find him to come forward urgently.”

Aled Davies, 65, was last seen in the #Pontcanna area on New Year’s Eve (Saturday 31 December).

He is around 6ft tall and was last seen wearing a dark green coat, dark green hat and glasses.

His family are very concerned as this is out of character for Aled.

 
A FORMER BBC editor was found dead in water four days after disappearing on a New Year's Eve walk, an inquest heard.

The body of Aled Glynne Davies, 65, was discovered two miles from where he was last seen.

The ex-radio worker had been for a meal with his wife before heading home to see in the New Year.

But he decided to go out for a walk before midnight in Pontcanna, Cardiff, and never returned to his worried family.

More than 400 people joined the search as his family desperately appealed for homeowners to check CCTV for sightings of Aled.

But tragically police found the dad-of-two's body close to Cardiff Sailing Club at around 9.40am on January 4.

An inquest into his death at Pontypridd Coroner's Court has been adjourned.
