Police Scotland have launched a major search for Richard Massey, 46, last seen in Luncarty near Perth, as concern grows after his rucksack was discovered by the River Tay.
A desperate search has been launched for a vulnerable man who has been missing for over three days after his rucksack was found near the River Tay.
Richard Massey, 46, was last seen at around 11am on Saturday, April 4, at a bus shelter on Main Road opposite Kirkhill Drive in Luncarty. A number 34 bus passed shortly afterwards, but it is not known if he boarded the service.
Officers from Police Scotland say there has been no confirmed sighting of Richard since, and fears for his safety are increasing.
On Monday, police discovered a rucksack containing his belongings near the River Tay at Willowgate, prompting further searches in the area.
Richard is described as a white man with very short dark hair. When last seen, he was wearing a white hooded puffer-style jacket with black shoulder patches, dark-coloured trousers, white trainers, a dark baseball cap and reflective sunglasses.
Images released by police show him inside a shop wearing the same distinctive outfit, as well as a separate head-and-shoulders photograph.
Police Scotland confirmed that extensive enquiries are ongoing, with officers reviewing CCTV footage and carrying out searches to establish his movements.
Inspector Mark Craig said: “If anyone has seen Richard or has any information on where he may be, please do get in touch. I would also ask people to check any sheds or outbuildings in case Richard is seeking shelter within.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101.
