Are you familiar with the area @MsMiniSleuth ? I hope they find the man who gave him directions soon, it could be very important to know where he aimed to go, and if he got there

there's really nothing over the king George bridge, tradeston is largely an 'industrial' area except from the Wallace street flats. West

Unless he was heading along towards govan or paisley road west.

Wish we knew what direction he turned into commerce street?

POLICE have confirmed a search early yesterday afternoon was connected to the hunt for missing Derek Beattie.

As told by the Glasgow Times yesterday, Derek, from Harthill, was last seen talking to a man outside Grace's Bar in the city.

He then crossed King George V Bridge and headed in the direction of Commerce Street during the sighting around 7.35pm on November 27.

Officers in waterproof gear and using wooden sticks were seen combing the banks of the River Clyde near to Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday around 12.30pm.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland confirmed "the activity was part of the investigation to trace missing person Derek Beattie from Harthill".

Wish we knew what direction he turned into commerce street?

I don't think they actually know if he reached Commerce Street. All of the reports say (para) 'he was last seen crossing the bridge heading in the direction of Commerce Street'

If he crossed bridge he would come directly onto the A77/Commerce Street.

If he crossed bridge he would come directly onto the A77/Commerce Street.

Yes. IF he made it across the bridge. It looks like they are doubtful he did as they are searching the river

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

Yes. IF he made it across the bridge. It looks like they are doubtful he did as they are searching the river

But it seems he was seen crossing it as the reports are fairly conclusive, and if they were searching near the Court, he would have turned left off Commerce Street onto Oxford Street.

Crossing, yes. But not across and actually on Commerce. If they think he went into the water off the bridge they would search in the direction of the flow of the river, it doesn't mean to say he went in that direction on foot. He may have done, but so far they haven't confirmed that he made it off the bridge on foot, only that he was seen on the bridge. The only reason they mention Commerce Street is to make it clear that he was heading south on the bridge, not north.

I hope he did, and that he returns to his family soon, but so far the land and air searches have all been focused on the river.

[LucyRocket]

It looks like there isn't going to be an official announcement, but it's pretty clear what's happened unfortunately. Very sad

Why are police saying he has been recovered TODAY, Dec 21? when we knew on Dec 2? Also rubbish because as of this moment the time is 2.30pm, they posted 4 hours ago, saying recovered at 2.55pm...??
