Anyone seen any updates on this? I can’t see anything, I expected there to be more in the press about them.

Unfortunately too many people go missing in the UK for all of them to be reported on, even in the local press.

1 person every 90 seconds, around 960 per day, around 350,000 per year are reported missing to the police. The vast majority of them turn up within a week but the media would be permanently chasing their tails to report on them every local misper case. Indeed, most would have turned up even before their story hit the local press or local news pages and therefore be worthless.

I haven’t seen an update, but the comments on the itv post about them on Facebook are helpful to give a bit of a picture possibly. I hope it means they are out there and yet to resurface.

Unfortunately, unable to view the FB page, but hopefully more updates are forthcoming.

Totally agreed. It's unfortunate. I too, though, thought there would be more press on this due to the MPs being related and the odd circumstances around their disappearances. These cases tend to get more attention IMO.
