Can you help?

Chief Inspector Trevor Jenner said:

‘Over the last three weeks, officers have searched relentlessly for Liam. They have carried out house-to-house enquiries and thorough CCTV reviews. Specialist officers have undertaken searches in numerous locations, assisted by drones, police helicopters, the dog unit, and the search and marine unit. Volunteers from the local community have also assisted in the search for Liam and I would like to thank them for their efforts. ‘We are yet to locate him and are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare. As we approach the three-week anniversary of his disappearance, we continue to request public support in locating Liam. Anyone with information is asked to contact Kent Police on 999 quoting reference 23-0247.’

A dedicated Family Liaison Officer is working with Liam’s family.
