Avon and Somerset Police now believe that missing DJ Derek may have taken the number 78 bus from Bristol to Thornbury on the night he went missing.

The 73-year-old was last seen on CCTV leaving The Criterion Pub in Ashley Road at 00.13 am on July 11th 2015.

Officers now believe that Derek may have taken the 10.32am bus from Bristol to Thornbury that evening.

This would mean Derek would have arrived in the Thornbury area between 11.20am and 12 noon.

Police are now focussing their search in that area.

I am appealing directly for anyone who regularly uses the number 78 bus on a Saturday morning from Bristol to Thornbury to have a look at the photo of Derek and see if you recall seeing him.

Equally, anyone who lives around any of the number 78 bus stops in Thornbury – do you recognise Derek and did you see him.

– DCI Matthew Iddon
