POLICE have made an appeal for information which could help them locate missing Skipton man Rory Johnson-Hatfield who disappeared three years ago.

Mr Johnson-Hatfield went missing three years ago during a night out in York on Thursday, November 19, 2015.

He was last seen on CCTV footage in the early hours of Friday, November 20, 2015.

Due to the last sighting of Mr Johnson-Hatfield being in close proximity to the River Ouse, a number of river searches have been carried out by Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Underwater Search Team. Those searches have not proved conclusive and the investigation remains live.

Up until his disappearance Mr Johnson-Hatfield worked as a waiter at Brody’s Pizzeria, in Skipton.

Mr Johnson-Hatfield is described 29, white, 5ft 11in tall, slim build, with short blond hair and when he went missing was wearing a round-neck dark coloured top, blue jeans and white and navy trainers.

Police have re-released CCTV footage of his last known movements, where at 12.32am he is seen heading into York with a friend, walking along Tower Street, past Clifford’s Tower.

Six minutes later at 12.38am, the same CCTV camera picks him up on his own, leaving the city centre on the other side of Tower Street and crossing Skeldergate Bridge towards the Skeldergate/Terry Avenue area of York.

Another CCTV camera picks him up a few minutes later at City Mills flats, on the other side of the river. This is the last known sighting of him.

Police continue to appeal for information about his movements that night, particularly the six minute time period between him heading into York and back out, along Tower Street and as he made his way over Skeldergate Bridge.

In a bid to jog people’s memory, police are carrying out a social media ‘reconstruction’ and tweeting and posting Mr Johnson-Hatfield’s last known movements throughout tonight ( Monday, November 19) into the early hours of tomorrow (Tuesday, November 20) via their Twitter account @NYorksPolice and Facebook page www.facebook.com/NorthYorkshirePolice using the hashtag #Rory2015.

Superintendent Allan Wescott, senior investigating officer said:“We continue to appeal for information about Rory’s last known movements on the night of November 19, 2015. Someone may have the smallest amount of information, that they believe is of no significance, that may actually unlock the answer to some of the questions we continue to have about that night. I also ask on behalf of the family, if anyone has received any information since the night he went missing, which may assist us in our continued efforts to search for Rory, please get in touch with police.

“While I appreciate we are asking people to cast their minds back three years, there were some events going on in the city that may jog people’s memory and help them recall where they were and what they were doing on the evening of Thursday, November 19 or the early hours of Friday, November 20, 2015.

“Thursday was the opening night of Thor’s tipi bar – a large tipi bar that is situated in Parliament Street for the Christmas period. The city’s Christmas lights were switched on that night and it was the first night of the York Christmas market, where a number of retail chalets are situated on the main shopping streets through York and free parking was on offer in council car parks. There would have also been late night shopping with a number of stores staying open in the city.

“I’d ask the public to try and recall their movements that night and if they remember anything at all which would assist our investigation, to please contact police on 101 with incident reference 12150207141 and pass that information to the force control room. Rory’s parents, Liz and Doug remain desperate for information.”
