''A “kind and gentle” dad-of-four left for work one day and disappeared without a trace. Kevin Fasting Senior was 49 when he went missing from his parents house in Aigburth more than 20 years ago. Despite searches far and wide, he’s never been seen or heard from since.
He was last seen by his parents at their home on Aigburth Road, by Aigburth Vale, on Friday, November 21 2003. Kevin had started a new job in Bootle delivering meals on wheels just a week before. His son, Kevin Fasting Junior, has tried throughout the years to keep his memory alive through constant media appeals.''
''On the morning of his disappearance, Kevin Snr left the house to go to work and he was seen shortly after by a neighbour at a nearby bus stop. The neighbour offered Kevin Snr a lift to work but he declined. This was the last sighting of Kevin as he did not arrive for work and hasn’t been seen since.''
''Not long before his disappearance, Kevin Snr tried to take his own life. Reflecting on this period now, his son said the situation demonstrates how attitudes to mental health have changed.
Kevin Jnr said: “He moved back in with his parents who lived around the corner. They were getting him back on his feet, metaphorically. But that was before mental health was talked about widely. ''
