Missing man David Parker

Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a vulnerable man from Maidstone in Kent who went missing yesterday (26 July) from his home and has possibly travelled by train to Castle Cary in Somerset.

63 year old David Parker was last seen at his home at 06:55am. It's possible he later purchased a one-way train ticket from Maidstone East Station to Castle Cary in Somerset.

He's described as being white, of stocky build, around 5'7 tall, with a bald head and may have been wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

Since his disappearance, Kent Police have been working with search teams in Avon and Somerset Police to try and locate him. He is known to suffer from epilepsy and does not have medication with him.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact police. If ringing in Kent, contact police on 01622 690690 and if in Somerset call 0845 456 7000.
