Desperate friends and family have turned to psychics to help find missing man Jesus Moreno who was last seen over 80 days ago.
Jesus, co-owner of Piglove Brewing Co. in Leeds, was last seen near Harewood Bridge at 8.14am on Monday, August 1.
The 42-year-old was last seen catching the number 36 bus from Leeds bus station to Harrogate at 6.10am but was later captured on CCTV entering a field on the Leeds side of the bridge, opposite Harewood Bridge Sawmills.

He has previously visited nearby beauty spots on the River Wharfe at Netherby.
Despite search efforts since August, his family and friends are no closer to finding him and have since been doing all they can in order to find him. This includes speaking to a psychic who helps find missing people and they have even turned to the church for help.
His loved ones are hopeful they will find him and `believe someone out there knows where he is.
Nick, who is a good friend of Jesus, has got a glimpse of hope after spotting a man with a similar figure to Jesus while they were searching for him near where he was last seen on Sunday night.
When they approached the man, it was not Jesus but Nick believes someone must have seen him on the day he went missing and has urged people to come forward with any information that would help to get him home safe.
“I would like to put out there that all we want is for Jesus to be safe,” he said. “We have got 20 good men and women searching for him. Everyone loves him.
“If you’re safe, no one is cross with him. We just want to know that he’s safe and sound.
“I don’t know why he’s gone, we don’t know where he is, there’s no reason for him to have gone missing.
“He’s a family man, I can’t find a reason for him to have gone. I can’t get my head around it.”
He continued: “We want him home. We want him home for his daughter.
“We’ve had people searching for him, drones, psychics, we’ve been all over banging on doors to find him.”
Jesus is around 5ft 7in, with a strong Spanish accent, long dark curly hair and a beard. He was wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt and carrying a black Vans rucksack with a checked motif on the back.
“We need people to pray to help get him home,” Nick, who has thanked people helping them to find Jesus, said. “We want to spread love.
“Everyone loves him and they want him home safe, we want him to know he’s loved.”
We have approached West Yorkshire Police for a comment but Detective Inspector Dan Bates, of Leeds District CID, previously said: “It has been more than two weeks now since the last confirmed sighting of Jesus at Harewood Bridge, and his family and friends are understandably very concerned about him. This remains the last confirmed location we have for him, and we have been focusing our efforts on specialist searches of the land around this area and along the River Wharfe.
“We have been contacted by members of the public with various potential sightings of him in other places and other parts of the country, but none of those sightings have been confirmed by CCTV or other means. We are continuing to support his family and friends who remain anxious for any news, and we are committed to doing everything we can to establish his whereabouts.
“We would like to hear from anyone who has any information that could assist us as we continue to search for him.”
