''Stephen Michael Cole was aged 30 when he returned from an outdoor break in Wales. A friend helped him take his camping gear in, before Mr Cole said he was going out for a drink on 23 June 1996.''

Police said since then, there had been no trace of him.

"It is possible Stephen took his camping gear and went back to Wales for some reason, but there has been no sign of life from him since he was last seen," a spokesman for the force said.''

''Mr Cole was 5ft 9in, with blue eyes and short, well-groomed brown hair.

He was last seen wearing blue jeans and tan boots, with a bright pink short-sleeved polo neck jumper. Police said he wore a gold ring and a bracelet on his right hand.''
