Roger Midgley, 59, was reported missing last Thursday (November 5) but has not been seen since October 26. Detectives now believe he may have travelled into Wales.

The CCTV, recorded on Headbrook in Kington, is the last confirmed sighting of Roger. Following initial enquiries, officers now know he is not with the car seen in the footage.

Searches involving specialist teams continue in rural areas around the Welsh border.

Roger is described as white with tanned skin, a grey beard and grey hair which is long at the back. He is of slim build with broad shoulders and is just under 6ft tall. He walks with a mobility aid.

He may be wearing a dark jacket or fleece, Crocs and/or a beanie hat.

Detective Sergeant Naz Waliat said: “We are releasing this CCTV footage in the hope it jogs someone’s memory and helps us establish Roger’s movements.

“The footage was captured on Headbrook in Kington on Monday, October 26 and is the last confirmed sighting we have of him. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen him that day or in the days that followed.

“Following our initial enquiries, we now know Roger is not with the vehicle seen in the CCTV footage. However, we still need to understand where he went afterwards, and any information from the public could be crucial in helping us build a clearer picture of his movements.

“Specialist search teams continue to carry out searches in rural areas around the Welsh border, and a number of enquiries remain ongoing. We would ask people not to dismiss information because they think it may be insignificant. A sighting, a conversation, or a piece of CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage could provide the vital lead we need.

“If you were in Kington on October 26, travelled through the area, or have been in border communities between Herefordshire and Wales in recent days, please think back and get in touch if you remember seeing Roger. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who recognises him from the CCTV footage or who has information that could help us locate him safely.”

Anyone who thinks they have seen Roger or has information about where he may be is asked to call 999 and quote reference 00119_i_05112026.
