New image released in search for man last seen in Bristol

Avon & Somerset Police are continuing their search to trace Lee Horton, 36, who hasn’t been in touch with his family since Tuesday 11 March.

Lee, from Evesham in Worcestershire, failed to arrive home after a visit to Bristol, despite telling his family he’d be catching a train. He was reported missing the next day, Wednesday 12 March.

Police have been carrying out CCTV enquiries to track Lee’s movements. The latest confirmed sighting was in Broadmead, just after 1pm on 11 March.

Police have also been distributing leaflets to people in the city centre.

Police believe Lee unsuccessfully attempted to book a hotel on Tuesday morning, visited several retail outlets in the Broadmead area and at one point got on and straight off a bus.

Lee’s family travelled to Bristol and met with senior investigating officers on Friday.

Lee is 5ft 11ins tall and white with short dark brown hair and a beard and a distinguishing birth mark on his right arm. He was wearing a blue jacket, dark-coloured jeans and was carrying a large black rucksack with red tags on it.

Police are asking anyone who knows where Lee to call 999, or ring 101 with any other information, giving the reference 5225073912.
