The family of a man who has been missing from his home in York for five days have urged people in the city to continue looking for him.
Seth Martin, 31, was last seen at his home address in the Clifton area at about 9am on Saturday (February 24).
His family issued this message to people in York through The Press: “Don’t stop searching. Seth loved life, he’s not the kind of person who would disappear.”
In particular the family urged people to look out for Seth if they are in the Clifton Ings area near the River Ouse where a person was seen in the water on Saturday afternoon.
Yesterday North Yorkshire Police said officers continued to search the River Ouse in York.
A police spokesperson said Seth's family and friends have been unable to contact him and the force is growing “increasingly concerned” for his welfare.
“As part of our enquiries, we are asking for anyone who may have seen Seth, or who has information about his whereabouts, to contact us immediately,” they added.
Seth is described as around 6ft 2in tall, of slim build with a tanned complexion. He has brown hair, a moustache and several tattoos including the words ‘Queen Mother’ in Spanish on his left wrist.
He was last seen wearing blue pyjama bottoms and a striped top although he may have changed clothes since the last sighting, the police spokesperson said.
