Police are appealing to the public to check their sheds and outbuildings for James Whitman one week on from when he was reported missing.
Officers are appealing to people living around Earlham Park and the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich to check their sheds, outbuildings and gardens in the search for the 40-year-old and to call police if they have any information.
Superintendent Kris Barnard, who is leading the search, said: “It has now been over a week since James went missing and I’m sorry to say there hasn’t been any sign of him. Clearly this is very concerning, and his family and friends are desperate to know where he is.
“We have carried out extensive searches for James over the past week, and these will continue over the next few days. As part of this ongoing search, I am urging anybody who lives around the UEA and Earlham Park to please check any sheds or outbuildings on their property and contact us immediately if they have any information that could us help us find him.”
James, who lives in Gressenhall, was last seen leaving the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital at around 4pm on Monday 13 June 2022. He was reported missing shortly afterwards.
He is described as white, 5ft 10, with short blonde hair and is believed to be wearing a navy-blue polo top with ‘A’ on his chest, navy-blue trousers, and blue and white trainers. He was carrying a red and black rucksack.
Officers have made house-to-house enquiries, checked CCTV footage, carried out extensive searches involving volunteers from Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue, police dogs and drone units and investigated reported sightings over the past seven days.
A search of the lake at the UEA on Friday (17 June 2022) didn’t find anything.
Anyone with information should contact Norfolk Police on 101 quoting incident number 341 of Monday 13 June 2022.
