A sad update regarding missing veteran, Shannon:

"As part of our investigation to locate missing North Tyneside woman Shannon, we are now able to confirm that we believe she has entered the water off the coast at South Shields.
Shannon, aged 56, was last seen in the Cheshire Grove area of the town late on Friday, October 9."

Our thoughts go out to Shannon's family and friends.

Request for information: Has anyone heard from Keldan Lewis in the last three months?
Keldan is a veteran from Essex. His family are extremely worried about him and have had no contact with him in some time.
They are keen to ensure that he is safe and well, and any information regarding his welfare would be very gratefully received.
Keldan, if you're reading this and you'd rather speak directly to us, please send a message.
