The wife of Thomas Stewart, the man who was reported missing at the end of May, has launched an appeal for anybody with information on him or his whereabouts to come forward. It has emerged that the most recent reported sightings of Mr Stewart turned out to be false. A reward is being offered to anybody who has information leading to the discovery of Mr Stewart’s whereabouts.

He was reported missing at the end of May. His wife, Phyllis Stewart, and family are frantic with worry as occasional sightings of the man failed to help the police with the search.

Mr Stewart has been missing for 14 weeks. In her most recent appeal, Mrs Stewart said that while she understands that her husband may not wish to come home, she is appealing to anybody with information to come forward so that the family would at least be aware that he is alive and well.

Mrs Stewart’s appeal in full:

“It has now been confirmed that all reported sightings since Friday, 3 June are NOT TOM.

“His wife, family & friends are terribly upset by the latest update. Anyone who has been in this situation, will understand, that not knowing whether Tom is DEAD or ALIVE, is extremely distressing for us all. We understand that Tom may have decided he doesn’t want to return home to his family, if this is the case, we would just like to know that he is alive and well, we respect his decision, but as each day passes, we are worrying, searching and hoping that he will be found in good health.

“Do you have any information of where Tom is? There is a REWARD offered for information that will lead to us finding Tom (this will only be given after the information has been verified and confirmed). If you do, please contact his wife, on telephone: 999 73 973, in strictest confidence.”
