The mother of a man from Cornwall who's been missing for almost a month have made an emotional appeal for him to get in touch.

Chad Gibson disappeared unexpectedly from his home in St Austell just six days before Christmas.

32-year-old Chad Gibson was last seen on Saturday 19 December.

He left his home at 10.30am and the last known sighting of him was on CCTV at around 2pm walking past Frankie and Bennies in St Austell towards Trinity Street.

He was first seen leaving The Central pub and crossing the road to Bank Street with two unidentified men shortly after 5.10pm.

They returned to the pub later and Chad finally left but this time alone shortly before 6pm.

The police are keen to speak to the two men who are seen in the CCTV with Chad.

His family hope this public appeal will clear up the agonising mystery of his disappearance.
