My only question is he left with no shoes...

He was also seen the following night at about 7pm leaving an abandoned building after setting a small fire.

I've just seen the CCTV footage, doesn't seem to have any shoes on and seems to look like he's being chased as he's running he looks behind him...

Police can now confirm that a body found yesterday is that of missing man James Dean. James, 35, was last seen in the Orchard Drive area of Oswaldtwistle around midnight on Wednesday (May 5). Following extensive police enquiries a body was sadly found in the Moscow Mill Street area around 2.25pm yesterday (Sunday, May 9). The body has now been formally identified. Our thoughts are with James’ family and friends at this time. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a post-mortem examination will take place in due course. A file will be prepared for HM Coroner and the matter will proceed to inquest.

We would like to thank everyone from the community who assisted during the search for James.

In a tribute his family said: “As a family we are utterly heartbroken and we can’t believe our James has really gone. We are still hoping he will walk back through the door and give us one of his smiles. “James was a loving father to his boys, a son, grandson, nephew and a brother and he will be desperately missed by so many. “He was such a genuine and gentle person who would go out of his way to help anyone who needed it. “We would like to thank everyone in the community who has helped in the search for James over the last few days and everyone at Brave Church for their love and support. “We would also ask that people please don’t speculate about what happened to James as it’s not fair for us as a family – especially his boys – to read these things. The truth will come out in good time. “While we are touched by all the lovely things people have said about James we would ask that we are now left in peace to try and come to terms with what has happened.”
