The family of a missing man have told of the "void in our lives" a month after the 29-year-old disappeared "without a trace". James Beer was last seen at 8.30pm on May 17 when his mother visited him at his home in Loughor, Swansea.
James' stepfather Lee Jones told WalesOnline: "It's been incredibly traumatic for the family. It's so out of character for James. Police have been amazing but we don't have a starting point. After his disappearance he doesn't appear on CCTV anywhere, not a Ring doorbell, not a business' CCTV. We don't know exactly what time he left or what direction he headed. It's incredibly difficult."
South Wales Police has released a CCTV image of James in Loughor's Spar shop from the morning of May 17. That day his mum Jan left her dog Meg with him while she visited James' older sister Hannah in Cardiff. Jan returned in the evening to pick the dog up and had a quick conversation with her son, who was not acting out of the ordinary.
