Police continue search for missing London student
Still no sign of Richard Okorogheye
Police searching for a London student who's been missing for nine days say there doesn't appear to have been any activity on his phone since he disappeared.
19 year old Richard Okorogheye left his parents' home in the Ladbroke Grove area of Kensington last Monday and was last seen on CCTV in Essex hours later.
Metropolitan Police Detective Superintendent Danny Gosling said on Thursday:
"We've been making extensive inquiries into the disappearance of Richard and over the last few days we've conducted a number of inquiries in relation to his mobile phone activity and also his financial activity.
"As a direct consequence of that we are able to identify that Richard paid for a taxi from west London which brought him here (Loughton).
"And having spoken to the taxi driver and made some CCTV inquiries we're confident that this was Richard's last sighting at about half past midnight into the early hours on Tuesday (March) 23.''
"There's a large number of officers, special search officers, that are focusing in and around the Epping Forest area which is close by to here, but there are other key lines of inquiry that we are still actively pursuing.
