It has been 6 weeks since student Adam Seaton vanished in Southport
ON Thursday, 20 September 2018,
Merseyside Police made a fresh appeal for people to come forward with
information; 6 weeks after the disappearance of student Adam Seaton, in
Southport, Merseyside.
Adam, 20, a geography student at Edge Hill University, went missing from his
home address in Melrose Avenue, Marshside, on Thursday, 9 August 2018.
Together with colleagues from the Coastguard and Mersey Fire and Rescue Service
extensive open land and open water searches have been carried out in the Sefton
area and CCTV, mobile phone and other enquiries have taken place.
When last seen Adam, who is 6ft 2in tall, of slim build with brown hair and
brown eyes, was wearing a burgundy tracksuit top, black or white T-shirt, blue
jeans and burgundy Puma trainers.
It is thought that Adam may have driven his mum's red Ford Fiesta car to the
RSPB car park on Marshside / Marine Drive during the afternoon or evening of
Thursday, 9 August 2018.
Since his disappearance we have received unconfirmed sightings from different
witnesses who said they believe they saw someone fitting Adam's description
around the time of his disappearance.
The 1st was sitting on sandhills, with a 2nd male, close to the derelict Sand
Factory, which is next to the RSPB car park in Marshside, in the day or so prior
to him going missing. The second sighting was also with another male, at the
RSPB car park, on Thursday, 9 August 2018.
Another witness believes that the red car, Adam was driving, was parked up in
the RSPB car park next to a small black car, containing 2 men, who are believed
to be Polish and regular visitors to the car park.
Detective Inspector Jackie Guinness said:- "I'd like to stress that these
are all unconfirmed sightings of Adam, but our enquiries remain ongoing and I
would ask anyone who recognises themselves or believes they have seen or spoken
to Adam, or anyone fitting his description, since Thursday, 9 August 2018, to
contact us. I would also continue to appeal to anyone who may have dash cam
footage which captured Adam's red Ford Fiesta in or around the RSPB car park to
come forward. It has been an extremely distressing time for Adam's family since
his disappearance. They are very grateful to everyone who has helped in the
search and publicised the appeals but ultimately they just want to see Adam home
safe and well. I would ask anyone who can assist the investigation to contact us
as a matter of urgency."
