THE SISTER of a missing man has made a passionate appeal for information about her brother’s whereabouts.

Sam Winstone longs to see the return of her sibling Adam Wilmott, 43, who went missing in Swindon nearly seven years ago. He was last seen leaving the Great Western Hospital in September 2011.

Although homeless at the time of his disappearance, Adam often stayed at local hostels or with friends but always maintained contact with his family.

Sam Winstone said: “We are so very desperate to find him. He is missed every day as a son, brother and grandson. Our grandparents are now quite elderly and are desperate to know what happened to their grandson.

“Adam was such a great brother, he would never ever miss a family member’s birthday or anything like that, no matter what his personal circumstances were at the time.

“I appreciate it was a long time ago but we really want to know where he is and what has happened to him. If anyone has any information, please come forward.”

Acting Police Sergeant Mike Armishaw said: “Extensive searches to locate Adam have been carried out and his whereabouts is subject to regular reviews to identify any new lines of enquiry that we are following up.

“We have also been working closely with the charity Missing People who have distributed posters of Adam in the local area.”

Anyone with information about Adam’s whereabouts is asked to call police on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Members of the public can also make a report by visiting: missingpeople.org.uk.”
