SHAUN, PLEASE COME HOME…

That’s the simple but heart-rending message from the family of missing Kingsteignton man Shaun Brown.

Shaun was last seen on the evening of March 17 and his last known location was the Preston side of Teigngrace in the early hours of March 18. The 32-year-old’s belongings were found at the Sampsons Farm end of Teigngrace at around 9.30am on the same day.

Despite extensive searches by police, coastguard and Dartmoor search and rescue teams, no clues have turned up to his whereabouts.

‘We are so worried about him and need to have him home where he is safe and will be loved, said his sister Laura Vickery.

‘He has no phone and no wallet on him and has not been seen or heard from now for over a week which is totally out of character for him not to contact anyone.

‘Shaun needs to know that he is not in any trouble at all, he just needs to come home.

‘If anyone knows where he is or if you are keeping him safe please just let him come home as there are so many people desperately missing him.’

Laura is asking anyone who sees her brother or has information about him to contact the police immediately on 999 quoting log number 18.03.2021200.

Shaun is described as being a white male, 6 foot three inches tall with short dark hair and a beard. At the time he went missing it was not known what clothing he was wearing.

‘Someone must know where my little brother is,’ continued Laura. ‘The whole family is in turmoil and worried beyond belief and his dog Zak is missing him too.

‘We just want him home to his family and friends.’This week we erroneously reported that Shaun's dog Zak was missing. This is not the case and Zak is fine and being cared for - but missing Shaun terribly.
