It was when David Aubert started missing his daily calls to his younger brother that his family started to become worried about him. David, 59, was a friendly, likeable man who lived a fairly nomadic lifestyle. But he would always check in with his sibling to let him know what he'd been up to that day.
He'd never married but was close to his three brothers, with their parents passing away in 2017 and 2021. David had odd jobs in the building trade, and enjoyed a drink at his local pub before heading into town for a late night tipple.
He was well known by bar staff and doormen alike and noted for his pleasant demeanour and kindness, even giving them sweets or crisps to perk them up during a long night shift. They said he was never aggressive, a trait that those working in pubs and clubs can sadly experience on a regular basis.
