Wife of missing Pickering man pleads for information on his disappearance

Rachael Harper, the wife of missing man Nicolas Harper is appealing directly to the public for information about her husband’s whereabouts.

Mrs Harper said: "The boys and I, and all of Nick’s family and friends, miss him desperately.

“I would ask anyone who thinks they have any information that might help us to find Nick, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, to please contact the police.”

Mr Harper was last seen on Thursday, February 7 when he left his home and was thought to be heading to work.

He never arrived at his workplace and his car was later found at Cowhouse Wood, Helmsley.

Searches of the vicinity and the wider area have taken place due to Mr Harper being a keen long distance fell runner.

Mr Harper is described as a white man, around 5ft 5ins tall, of stocky build with short dark brown hair and a full beard.

He was last seen wearing a three-piece suit and shirt.

Officers want to speak to an owner of a silver estate car which was seen parked in the same area where Nicholas’ car was located. It is believed this car was parked on the morning Nicholas went missing and also for a couple of mornings beforehand and it may be that the driver has seen or heard something which may assist with the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police by dialling 101 and quoting reference number 12190023491.
