Man missing for a month from Scots town last seen leaving local nightclub

Police Scotland have made a fresh appeal for information to try and trace missing man Rodrigo Falcon, a month on from when he was last seen.

The 33-year-old was reported missing on Sunday, December 11, 2022 in Aviemore. Rodrigo had been in The Vault nightclub on the night he was last seen.

The most recent confirmed sighting of him was on CCTV walking on Grampian Road towards the southern end of Aviemore around 3.10am on December 11.

Extensive searches and police enquiries have been carried out in Aviemore and the surrounding area, sadly so far without success.

Inspector Craig Johnstone, of Aviemore Police Station, said: “It is now one month since Rodrigo was reported missing and despite significant efforts by police and the local community he has not yet been found.

“It is clear from the response by the community how much concern they have for him and I want to take the opportunity to thank them for their assistance.

“We continue to work to locate Rodrigo and I would urge anyone who believes they may have information which has not yet been passed to us to get in touch, no matter how small you feel the details you have are.

“If you can help then please come forward by calling 101, using reference 2387 of December 11.”

Rodrigo is described as being 5ft 6in tall, of slim build, with dark hair cut in a mullet style with a moustache and beard. When last seen he was wearing a red jumper and baggy jeans with no coat.

Bosses at the pub Rodrigo worked at have also issued an emotional appeal to find their missing colleague. The owners of the The Pine Marten Bar and Scran pub, Scotty and Katie, said they have struggled to open over the festive period while their friend is still missing.

Scotty said: "My best friend Rod is still missing and I can’t mentally deal with working in public. Hence our lack of staff to run the pub sufficiently.

"Katie and the rest of the team have done an unreal job over the festive period to keep the pub open for everyone and shown strength that I admire more than you could imagine.

"They are obviously struggling too and somehow have managed to put on a brave face to keep the pub going. We continue our search for our beloved Rod and are not giving up.

"If anyone has any information at all that may help please call 101 and let them know or 999 if it’s an emergency.

"Thank you all for your continued understanding and support through these difficult times."

Police Scotland's marine unit searched the nearby River Spey and Loch Alvie, days before the New Year.
