This is still a case there appears little info on, and although police have been informed, there is no online appeal as yet.

John Winterton went missing in the Wythenshawe, Manchester area sometime between 04 - 06am on Wednesday, August 18, from his sister's house. His dad checked on him at 06.45am and found him gone.

No one has seen or heard from him since.

His credit cards have not been used since Tuesday. His phone last pinged at 06.17am on August 18 in Northern Moor, Wythenshawe.

The family are conducting a search later today, Saturday August 21, from The Cringlewood Social Club, Yewtree Lane, Wythenshawe from around 12 - 12.30pm.

Sale Road is presumably the sister's where they say he was at. His phone last pinged a few minutes away at Northern Moor at 6.17am, so seems he would have left around 6am - 6.14am. Would have been light then, but why?

Friend's post on GMP appeal link asking for doorbell cam or CCTV from Sale Road between 3-7am on Wednesday. Also people to search parks.

Sale Road - quite a long, busy road it appears - is still too close to woods, water and the River Mersey for my liking.

Hope they find him soon.

So dad checked in on him at 645am and he was gone. But was he last seen at 3am, presumably at home? Seems his dad checks on him alot.

Maybe been out, or they were up late? Dad could have knocked to see if he wanted a cuppa?

A desperate appeal has been issued to find a missing man, who has connections to North Wales.

John Winterton from Manchester was last seen at around 3am during the early hours of Wednesday, August 18 near the Northern Moor in Manchester.

However, a family friend explained the family are hoping he has made his way to Anglesey, where his mum has a caravan.

Officers from Greater Manchester Police said they are becoming increasingly concerned for the missing man and urge anyone with information to come forward.

Sharing a statement online, Greater Manchester Police said: “Can you help police find a missing man from the Wythenshawe area?

“John Winterton, 26, was last seen about 3 am on Wednesday 18 August on Sale Road.

“Officers are becoming increasingly concerned for John and want to make sure he is safe and well. Anyone with information about John whereabouts is asked to contact police on 0161 856 6033”

Desperate pleas to find missing man as family hope he's on Anglesey

Just a 5 minute walk down the road from where he was in Sale Road.

So sad for his family, girlfriend and friends.
