Original Story for Archive Purposes: Police are appealing for information after a man went missing from his family home two weeks ago.

William Aspden, 30, had been visiting his mother at her home in the Lancaster area and left on 25th October. He has not made contact with his family since.

Police are growing concerned about his welfare and are appealing for him to get in touch.

“We believe William may have gone up to Scotland, commented Sgt Alicia Hills of Lancaster police, "but he has not made contact with his family and they are keen to speak to him.

"I would ask that he gets in touch with them – or with us if he does not want to speak to them directly – to let everyone know that he is safe.”
