He is white, 5’ 10”, of heavy build, with black spiked shoulder length hair and a goatee beard. He was last seen wearing a long green trench coat, blue jeans and flip flops.

Detective Inspector Neil Ralph said, “David now hasn’t been seen for almost three weeks and we are getting even more concerned about him.

“We know he suffers with mental health problems and believe his health may have deteriorated in that time. We believe he is still in the London area as he has not returned home to Eastbourne.

“We are asking if anyone knows where he is, please can they get in touch. We are working closely with our colleagues in London to find him and check he is ok.”
