The wife of Poole man David Horsford is appealing for the public’s help to find him almost two weeks after he went missing.

David, 67, left his home in Samson Road at around 7.30am on Saturday 16 April 2016 after telling his wife Marguerite he was going for a short walk.

Despite police searches in parts of Poole and the surrounding area, the retired electrician has not been seen or heard from since.

His wife of 44 years says he had been suffering from an extreme lack of sleep when he left home and was not in the right frame of mind. She appealed for anyone who might have information to come forward. She has also thanked officers and volunteers for their help thus far.

Officers say David’s disappearance is completely out of character and want anyone who might have seen him to call Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 16:145.
