Police have released a new picture of missing man Evan Reid as concerns for his safety continue to grow.
Evan was on the train home to Irvine, North Ayrshire on Saturday night at around 10pm when he appeared agitated and disembarked at Gilmour Street station in Paisley.
He was later spotted on CCTV in Love Street and New Inchinnan Road at around 10.06pm but he has not made contact with his friends or family since.
Evan's partner Nicole Murray told the Paisley Daily Express earlier today that his family have been roaming the streets of Paisley to look for him but have so far drawn a blank.
Pleading for people to keep an eye out for the 31-year-old dad, she said: “This is completely out of character for him, especially to have been on his way home and then get off at another station.
“Obviously we don’t know what kind of state he is in but this is not like him at all. He has no mental health issues, we just don’t know what’s happened.
“We are worried beyond belief and shocked. I am just trying to hold it together.”
Nicole shares a three-year-old daughter with Evan and has no idea why he got off the train in Paisley as opposed to going home to Irvine as planned.
Evan is described as being around 5ft 8in and of slim build.
When last seen he was wearing a khaki green jumper, a black body warmer, dark blue jeans and grey trainers.
CCTV footage from Gilmour Street station shows Evan appearing agitated as he got off the train. He was then captured again on CCTV at nearby Love Street and Weir Street.
“He was in Glasgow on a night out,” Nicole said. “He text me to say he was getting the train home. He said to me [in a text] there was something happening, something dodgy was happening. I didn’t know then that he was on the train already.
“We are waiting on CCTV from inside the train to see if that shows anything.”
She added: “We we were told [by the people he was out with] that he wasn’t that drunk.
“He doesn’t know anyone in Paisley and other friends and family don’t know anyone there, we don’t have any connection to Paisley. He works in Linwood but other than that there’s nothing.”
Inspector Paul Connelly said: “As time passes concerns are growing for Evan and we are keen to trace him as soon as possible.
“Our enquiries to trace Evan are ongoing and we are appealing for the help of members of the public.
“I am appealing to anyone who has seen Evan or who has any information on his whereabouts to contact us.
“I would also appeal to any drivers who were in the area of Inchinnan Road on Saturday night and who may have dashcam footage which could assist to get in touch. No amount of information is too small.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 4112 of Saturday, 25 March, 2023
