Search for missing Lee Horton continues

By Martin Booth  Wednesday Mar 19, 2025

A new CCTV image has been released exactly one week since Lee Horton was reported missing.

Lee, from Evesham in Worcestershire, did not arrive home from a visit to Bristol despite telling his family that he would be catching a train home.

Searches are continuing with police officers carrying out CCTV enquiries to track Lee’s movements.

Lee unsuccessfully attempted to book a hotel on the morning of Tuesday, March 11, visited several shops in Broadmead and boarded a bus before immediately getting off.

An Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said: “Lee’s worried family travelled to Bristol and met with senior investigating officers on Friday 14 March.

“They say his visit to Bristol is not unusual, as he likes to visit new places, but that it’s out of character for him not to be in contact.

“Officers are keen to hear from anyone with information which could help to find him.”

Lee is 5ft 11ins tall with short dark brown hair and a beard, and a distinguishing birth mark on his right arm.

He was wearing a blue jacket, dark-coloured jeans and was carrying a large black rucksack with red tags on it.
