The sister of a man who has been missing for three weeks has made a desperate appeal for more information as police continue to scour areas in east London.
Joe Warren, 46, who shared a house in Hackney with his sister Rosie for more than a decade, was last seen around 9.30am on Tuesday July 25 near Marsh Gate Bridge in Hackney Marshes.
In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police on Tuesday, Rosie pleaded for anyone with information to ugently contact the Met or the charity Missing People.
She said: “All of Joe’s family and friends are desperate to know where he is. He is so loved by so many people and we all want him to come home.
“I’ve shared a house in Hackney with my brother Joe for over 10 years so every day not seeing him and not knowing where he is, if he is safe or needs help, is agonising.
“The police have been amazing and continue to do so much trying to find him. So many friends have helped us either putting up appeal posters or sharing Joe’s appeal on social media, but sadly we still haven’t found him.”
Officers are continuing to search for Joe in Hackney Marshes or Epping Forest.
Joe is described as 6ft 3ins tall, of slim build, with short brown hair which is thinning on top. He was last seen wearing a green camouflage jacket, green trousers and black trainers with white soles.
Detective Inspector Gavin Jay, said: “It has been three weeks since Joe was last seen, and we continue to have concerns for his wellbeing.
I am asking for the public to support us in this investigation, and to come forward with any information which could assist in locating him safely. This continues to be a difficult time for Joe’s family.”
The Met said earlier this month that Joe “has recently been stressed and his family and officers are increasingly concerned for his safety”.
There was a potential sighting of him on August 1 near the Lincolns Lane carpark in Epping Forest.
