THE families of two young men who went missing from Glenrothes in Fife have renewed their appeals for information on the anniversary of the disappearances.
Kenneth Jones and Allan Bryant, who are both from the town, went missing on 3 November 15 years apart.
Kenneth Jones was last seen leaving home at around 7am on 3rd November 1998. He was 18 years old at the time and Thursday will mark the 18th anniversary of his disappearance.
“I miss him,” said Kenneth’s mother Mary Ann Jones. “It doesn't matter what's happened in the past, I just want for him to come home?”
Kenneth is described as white, 6ft 2ins tall, with short dark brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black blouson style leather jacket with zipped front, black jeans, yellow and green trainers and he was carrying a small black/blue rucksack.
“All these years I’ve looked for Kenneth up and down Britain and I’ll never stop looking for him until I find out what happened to him,” Kenneth Jones’ aunt, May Dodds, said.
“If anyone knows anything please get in touch with Missing People. I just hope he is safe, healthy and happy and for him to let us know he’s okay.”
Allan Bryant was last seen on CCTV in the early hours of 3rd November 2013 outside Styx nightclub on Caskieberran Road. Allan, who has tattoos on both arms, was last seen wearing a t-shirt which is navy at the top, grey in the middle and white at the bottom, dark denim jeans and grey leather plimsoles. He is 5ft 6ins tall and was 23 when he went missing.
Allan’s father, also called Allan, said, “Someone must have seen Allan that night. Some of his friends were still present at the nightclub when he was last seen. My family just want anyone that knows anything to come forward. All it takes is one phone call to the police or Crimestoppers. It’s been three years now our family have suffered this pain. Please end this nightmare for our family.”
Ian Roullier, Publicity Coordinator at the charity Missing People added, “If Kenneth or Allan are reading this, please call or text us in confidence on our free phone number 116 000 to let us know you are ok. We can’t trace your call. We just want to provide you with the support you need and help you to be safe.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
