Last updated 6th Oct 2022
Avon and Somerset Police have renewed calls for a missing 17-year-old who was last seen on September 20.
Freddy left the family farm in Stolford at 10am that day and has not been seen since.
So far in their investigations, they have used helicopters, police dogs - and worked with the RNLI to try and find him, but yet to no avail.
From the force, Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Greaves today said: "We are increasingly concerned for his welfare. Because of the time he's been missing, that is a real concern.
"If you come across Freddy, dial 999. If you might know where he is, contact the police as soon as possible.
"Equally, if you have visited the area since he's gone missing, have a think back. However small that piece of information might be, it could be an absolute relevant piece to help us try to find where he is."
On Wednesday (September 28), the force issued a statement from Freddy's parents.
They said: “Police, coastguard and search and rescue have been and continue to search extensively, but so far, despite all our best efforts, Freddy has still not been found.
“Those who know Freddy speak so well of him and say what a likeable, lovely and insightful lad he is. We just wish that Freddy could hear these kind words too.
“This is an appeal to Freddy, to anyone who has seen Freddy, or knows of his whereabouts to please make contact.
“Freddy we miss you very much and want to know that you are safe and well.”
The 17-year-old is described as having short brown hair, a slim build and is 5'9'' tall.
Anyone with information is asked to call 999 with the reference 5222227588.
