Mother's Plea: Find Autistic Son Lost at Sea
31 Mar
Summary
- Autistic man, 24, missing since November 6th last seen at Victoria Dock.
- Police believe CCTV shows him entering the Humber estuary five months ago.
- Family hopes spring tides will expose estuary banks, aiding in his discovery.
The mother of a missing autistic man, last seen entering the Humber estuary five months ago, expressed her enduring hope for his body to be found. Sam, 24, vanished on November 6th from Victoria Dock in Hull. Police reviewing CCTV footage believe it shows a figure entering the water about nine minutes after his last sighting.
His mother shared the family's deep desire to bring Sam home for a funeral, stating, "We hope every day, we say every night, will it be today? We are still hopeful." As Sam's 25th birthday approaches in April, the family faces the grim reality of his absence.
Recent spring tides in March have offered a glimmer of hope, as they are expected to expose more of the estuary banks. The family believes this could increase the chances of Sam being seen. They urge anyone who might discover anything to contact the coastguard immediately, referencing the log from November 6th.
