"If you live in the area please check your outbuildings, caravans and vehicles for David or signs that someone has been in them. "David is not from this area and with the cold wet weather conditions continuing he may have taken shelter somewhere. "We also want to appeal to anyone who may have been travelling along Ashbourne Road between 2am and 4am on Thursday morning (30 January) and ask anyone who saw anyone in the area to contact us.
