Renewed police appeal
Help Us Find | We issue the following renewed appeal for information on the whereabouts of James Beer, who was reported missing in 2023.

Detective Sergeant David Connick said: "On May 19 last year family members reported 30-year-old James Beer missing, and a year after his disappearance we have had no confirmed sightings of James and his whereabouts are unknown.

"From enquires we know James logged out of his computer at approximately 4:30am on the May 18 2023.

"However, we have had no positive sightings of James since May 17 last year.

"James is described as being of slim build, 5ft 8 in height and at the time of his disappearance supporting a goatee style beard. We believe he was in possession of a blue rucksack.

"I am appealing to anyone who may have been on or around the area of Culfor Road, Loughor on May 17 or 18 2023, possibly heading to work or working themselves in that area to cast your minds back.

"Did you see anyone matching James’s description on those days? If so, please contact us.

"We are also keen to hear from anyone who may have had any contact with James leading up to his disappearance or after his disappearance who has yet to assist this enquiry. Again, we would like you to come forward and speak to us.

"Lastly, this is a direct appeal to James. If you are reading this appeal, please contact us to let us know you are safe and well. Your family miss you and want you back home."

Anyone who has any information that can assist this enquiry, please contact 101 quoting police occurrence 2300163003.

Touching base on this one (as its close to my location).

From the information given thus far, we know James logged out of his computer at approximately 4:30am on May 18 2023.
Do we have access to his computer? Are there any potential 'search history' or website visits in the days before that could imply a location? - noting that he loved to camp. (stated by family that he often liked to camp alone)

Aside from the aforementioned, how was his mental state and general self on the weeks leading up to the disappearance? which is slightly touched on in the below article link.


Any info would help on narrowing down a starting point for searches.
The family believe James may have taken a train from Gowerton or Bynea to mid Wales, where he often liked to camp alone.
Noting he was last seen with a blue rucksack?


This article from last year covers a number of things also.
