NewCCTVimagesissued in search for missing man
POLICE have issued new CCTV footage of a missing Cardonald man following an identification mix-up.
Images were released of David Findlay to coincide with the eighth anniversary since his disappearance. He left his Cardonald home at around 3pm on Monday, May 5, 2008 – and no-one has heard from him since.
The Evening Times published a story earlier this week which contained the wrong CCTV images which had been released by Police Scotland.
David’s heartbroken daughter Linda alerted police about the error.
She has since verified footage which showed her dad walking around Morrisons supermarket in Cardonald on the day he disappeared.
Linda, 51, from Paisley, was too upset to speak following the error but she did urge anyone who knows of his whereabouts to come forward.
Police say the last confirmed sighting of David was around 6pm in Sauchiehall Street at West Nile Street on the day he went missing.
Officers also followed up a number of unconfirmed sightings in Cumbernauld, Coatbridge, Milngavie, Kirkintilloch, Shettleston and Kilsyth but all attempts to locate David have proved unsuccessful.
Chief Inspector Simon Jeacocke said: “The missing person enquiry into the disappearance of David Findlay remains live and despite the passage of time, we would continue to urge anyone with any information which might be able to help our investigation to contact police on 101.”
Linda previously said: “It’s crazy how we have still not heard anything.
“I want closure one way or anoth- er. I will never give up hope until I get that closure. Every day I think I wonder if this could be the day we find him.”
The grandfather-of-five is 5ft 4in, of medium build and he has grey receding hair.
He was last seen wearing goldrimmed glasses, grey trousers, a brown jacket, a grey jumper with red stripes, and black shoes.
