A fresh appeal has been launched eleven and a half years after the disappearance of a man from Newbridge.

Today would have been Kyle Vaughan's 36th birthday today

Kyle, then aged 24, from Newbridge, was last seen at around 11.45pm on 30 December 2012.

The car he was driving, a silver Peugeot 306, was involved in a single vehicle collision on the A467 between Crosskeys and Risca that night.

Police initially launched a missing person enquiry which then became a murder investigation, resulting in eight arrests in connection with his disappearance.

All were later released without charge.

T/Assistant Chief Constable Nicky Brain said: “Our enquiries into what happened to Kyle before his disappearance is one of our most extensive investigations to date and it remains ongoing.

“We remain in regular contact with his family and our major incident team continue to investigate any details received from the public about Kyle.

“Kyle’s family have never given up hope of finding out what happened to him and we believe that someone still may have details which could be beneficial to our investigation.

“If this is you, then we’re keen to hear from you to assist our enquiries, however minor you may feel that piece of information it is.”
