The above group has been updated to say they have found from his Freedom Pass use he travelled on December 31 from Tolworth at 7am, from Kingston Hospital at 10am to Waterloo...Epping Forest...then back to Tolworth at 6.50pm.

There was no use on the pass yesterday.

I think "Tolworth" is the area of London that Christopher is from, rather than his surname. I don't think his surname has been released. The Facebook page that was set up to help find him was poorly named, in my opinion, but I see that they have now changed the wording of the title to a much better "Help Find Chris from Tolworth".

I wonder why he went to Epping Forest, and whether his visit there is related to his disappearance?

Epping Forest is long trip from Tolworth. If he went on the Tube he'd need to change at least once to get to the Central Line and Waterloo is really, really busy, even with less people travelling.

Yes, it is Chris FROM Tolworth. Wish they'd use surnames in first place. I know there is a move away from that now, but does make things simpler.

There is a search being organised tomorrow (Monday) for any interested volunteers, meeting 1pm at Tolworth Nature Reserve. Further details on the group link above.

They seem to be getting a lot of local support. Search getting underway at 1pm.

Why would this be? They didn't do a proper search job?

Perhaps mod can update header thread with this gentleman's full name, as now known.
