Missing lad Dillon Duffy age 18 from Oldham - Found and on way home with dad (P4)

[Maintainin]

Hope he’s got some money and Chelsea, Spuds and Arsenal fans Man U fans in London have been made aware.
No one else apart from Liam and local radio don’t want to know. Sad for the family I think they are City fans judging by the picture on her Twitter page.

I know his dad he's a belting lad, he's been walking the streets of London looking for him since the day he went missing Mrs Gaz went to school with his mum so a lot of my friends are trying to get word out, it seems (from what they're saying) the met dont really want to know.

Dillon left a note saying he was feeling low booked and paid for a train ticket to London and arrived as Euston thats where the trail has gone cold, id be amazed if he couldnt be tracked on cctv around there but here we are. I'm assuming as someone mentioned above the Met might not be putting their all into it as Dillon is 18 he's an adult and therefore can make his own decisions, its very very out of character for him though. Im praying its simply a case of him wanting/needing some space and he'll be back soon

Many youngsters that have left home and travelled in via any of the North London main rail terminals tend, to use any of said station concourses to get their head down, of a night, on an alternate basis.

Daytime n evenings, i'd focus on n around Camden Town, Camden Lock, nearby Regents Park, Chalk Farm etc

Late evenings, the various Food/Soup Kitchens and other mobile outreach serving Camden/Islington (Kings Cross, Euston, Marylebone Road, Finchley Road etc, may prove a good bet.

Same applies to West-end and Westminster.


Best of luck.

I'd imagine the police are able to look at his bank and phone records and will know quickly if he is still functioning.

Assuming he is there is not a lot the police can do. However I've no idea how far the police go in looking into these things.

Maybe he's had enough of Oldham and his family and needs a break. Hopefully he will make contact, sometimes life can feel very claustrophobic.

Especially when your life and the weather is hot, it wouldn’t be hard to contact the free helpline 116000 and just let his family know he’s safe through an intermediary that could help he might be looking in here

We’re gonna need to start air tagging every fucker soon.

It’s probably a bit tricky, legally speaking. I’m pretty sure they can’t just go checking people’s digital footprint without a valid reason.

And what understandably might be seen as a case of a missing,vulnerable child to an anxious parent, could also be seen an adult, lawfully going about their business, without his parent’s knowledge.

Probably tricky for the police when they’re that age.

Obviously hope it all end well though.

Thanks, I’ll pass that on his family are desperate for news and football forums are probably a great place for them to find out if someone’s seen him in London as that’s where most teens head but not always.
The police won’t be interested at 18yrs sadly they have more important issues to deal with but London is not the place for disturbed teenagers

That was from the M.E.N website a good few days ago.

They have found him on video in Euston I believe, it wouldn’t be hard to track the direction he went would it? London has so many people and places. North South East or West might be a start there’s cameras everywhere.
The lads entitled to roam at 18yr but parents are rarely wrong if they suspect his mental health might be the reason he’s gone
