The mother of missing James Corfield has issued an emotional plea for help in finding him.
Police, mountain rescue teams and volunteers have continued to search for James, from Montgomery, in and around the Royal Welsh Showground at Llanelwedd and at Builth Wells after he went missing on Monday night after last being seen at the White Horse public house in Builth.
This afternoon his mother, Louise, said: “James has still not been found, and we, his parents, brother, sister and grandma are desperate to know where he is. This is totally out of character of James. He is so passionate about his farm animals, and hasn’t come home to them. He would never leave them unattended, which makes us even more worried about where he is.
“James is a gifted cricket player, and is due to play cricket this Saturday, and his team, Montgomery Cricket Club, need him home for this.
“We’re grateful for the many volunteers who are helping to search for him, but we still can’t find him and need your help. Where is he?
We love you James.”
Superintendent Huw Meredith said: “Police officers, along with support from Brecon Mountain Rescue Team and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, are continuing to search for 19-year-old James Corfield around Builth Wells.
“We are still appealing for anyone who might have seen him late on Monday evening or during the early hours of Tuesday morning. Please ring 101 with any information you might have.
“Volunteers are continuing to assist, and while we are grateful for their support, we would like to remind people not to undertake their own searches out of consideration for their own safety.
“James was last seen at the White Horse public house, Builth Wells, at around midnight on Monday 24 July 2017.
“He is described as being 6ft 2 inches tall, of slim build, with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and jeans.
“James was reported missing shortly before 2pm on Tuesday, 25 July 2017, after failing to meet his family at the Royal Welsh Show, where he had been camping with friends.
“Thank you for your support in sharing our appeals so far.”
