Insp Geoff Crocker of North Yorkshire Police appealed directly to Paul to get in touch. He said: “Paul, the police and your family are very concerned about you and want to know that you are safe. If you read or hear this appeal, please contact your family, friends or the police and let us know that you are ok. If you prefer, you can contact the missing people charity on 116 000 and let them know in confidence.”
