Six months on: Family in fresh appeal over missing Bridgnorth man Andrew Green
The sister of a Shropshire father-of-two who has been missing for six months has appealed for information in the lead-up to Christmas.
Andrew Green was last seen near his home at Yew Tree Farm in Chorley, near Bridgnorth, on June 22 at about 8.50pm.
Mr Green's sister, Sam Green said: "The whole family just wants him home. Especially before Christmas.
"Mum and dad are struggling to even think about celebrating Christmas.
"Christmas is hard enough as we lost our grandma on Christmas Day.
"Anyone who knows anything even if they think it's not important just please get in touch.
"If anyone knows where he is or know anymore as to why he disappeared please come forward."
West Mercia Police released a renewed appeal for Mr Green after a recent search failed to find anything of significance.
The 33-year-old is still being treated as a high risk missing person and police say they are remaining open minded as to his whereabouts.
A further search was conducted on Sundaywhich involved a team made up of West Mercia Search and Rescue (WMSAR) members and a Police Search and Rescue Advisor (POLSA).
A designated area was searched in the vicinity of where Mr Green went missing, as conditions in that area have changed somewhat since June, allowing the area to be searched comprehensively.
Nothing of significance was located during the search and the investigation to locate Mr Green continues, with police keeping the family informed.
Detective Inspector Sarah Wagstaff said: "Our efforts to locate Andrew are continuing and we have a dedicated team of officers who are progressing all possible lines of investigation in this missing person enquiry.
"Uniformed patrols were conducted soon after Andrew was reported missing, with police dogs and police search advisors being deployed to an area of farmland that is over 700 acres in size, plus the surrounding woodland, open space, farm buildings, other farms and various waterways."
Mr Green was last seen wearing a green stripy jumper, beige work trousers, and work boots.
He is 6ft tall and of stocky build with dark brown hair.
Mr Green, who had been going through the breakdown of a relationship, was last seen by his partner after putting his two young daughters to bed.
His father said he saw him put a rope in his car earlier that day, but thought nothing of it at the time.
His vehicle was later found abandoned nearby with his phone and work keys inside.
"He's got no money, no passport," Mrs Green said. at the time.
"He's just got a rope and a photo of his children.
"We really miss him and just want him to come home," she said.
At the time of his disappearance, Mr Green's father, Edward, 58, said the family are still hoping for the best.
He said: "We just do not know and that is the worst. We have to keep going for the sake of the rest of the family and the kids and the grandkids.
"We are just hoping he is out there working somewhere on a farm, working for a contractor and someone might know something. We are hoping someone who might know something could see it on Facebook and get in touch."
Anyone with information about Mr Green's location can call West Mercia Police on 101.
