THE parents of a missing man yesterday launched a poster campaign in a bid to track him down.

Tristan Long, 29, has been missing from his home in York since April 16 this year.

His car was found abandoned near Wetherby but there have been no sightings of him.

His parents, Andrew and Ruth, supported by police, are distributing posters around the city appealing for information.

They have appealed for him to get in touch. "We, all your relatives and many friends are desperate to hear from you, to know that you are safe," they said.

"If you want anything get in touch. Don't be frightened about coming back. All you need to do is come back and be yourself. We all care deeply about you. Whenever you are ready please come back - we miss you terribly."

Anyone with information is asked to call 0845 6060 247.
