Investigation to find missing man continues as police issue a further appeal for information

Police searching for missing Towcester man Jayran are continuing to appeal for information from the public as the investigation progresses to find him.

Jayran was last seen by his family at about 6pm on Tuesday, March 21, and inquiries have established that the last known contact made with Jayran was just after 10pm on Wednesday, March 22.

Mounting concerns around his whereabouts led to a three-day underwater search of a section of the River Tove in Towcester over the Easter weekend, and the investigation has continued since then as officers explore different lines of inquiry.

Det Chief Insp Johnny Campbell, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are continuing to carry out extensive inquiries to locate Jayran.

“The last known contact made with Jayran was just after 10pm on March 22, and we have been working to establish if he has been in further contact with anyone, or carried out any financial transactions, in our efforts to find him.

“We are also very grateful to the public for their continued support and to those who have already contacted us.

“We would still like to hear from anyone who may have information relating to this investigation. Even if it seems trivial, it may provide a vital link. So if there is anything you think might help us in our search for Jayran, please get in touch.”

Local neighbourhood officers remain out and about in Towcester, speaking with local people and carrying out patrols in the area around the river and the Watermeadows, where Jayran’s black North Face jacket was found on April 1.

Officers are particularly keen to speak to the person who placed the jacket on the gate in Northampton Road, next to the Watermeadows.

Anyone with information about Jayran’s disappearance is urged to speak to local officers or call the incident room on 101, quoting incident number 219 of 05/04/23.
