A Scottish man at the centre of a missing person enquiry was recently revealed to be a serial love rat who left a trail of heartbreak across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
The conman, David McGinn, was recently discovered boarding a flight from London two weeks after police issued a missing persons appeal for him. Officers have launched an appeal to trace the 51-year-old from Cardonald, Glasgow.
It is understood that McGinn was last seen on January 15 at Central Station but detailed information regarding his past revealed much more to his former life than meets the eye.

Our sister title the Sunday Mail reports how the rip-off Romeo, whose real name is David Anthony Kean, has reportedly been conning women for three decades and has convictions for theft and dishonesty, as well as leaving women heartbroken after stealing from them.
The Mail have also since revealed that the conman was seen boarding a flight from London Heathrow to Glasgow on January 30.
Last week, Janet Mighton, 51, of Whitburn, West Lothian, who was left £650 out of pocket in March 2015 after meeting Kean online told how she feared he had struck again.
She said: "I know he’s not missing, I know he is at it again. The person who reported him missing obviously had no idea. It’s very sad that he is able to keep doing this."
In July 2017 he left the home of one woman in Edinburgh, taking her £40 earphones with him. In September 2017 Bedfordshire Police said they were also looking for Kean.
Kean has been known to use an Irish and Yorkshire accent and has used the aliases David Donald, David Ross, David Kayne, David Marshall, David Jamieson, David Cochrane and David Cunningham. The Sunday Mail has spoken to eight victims of his love-bombing ruse which he has been pulling as far back as 1992.
In September 2015, Kean admitted five charges of theft and dishonesty between 2009 and 2012 and was jailed for two years. He was released in November 2013.
In April 2017, he stole £1500 from a mum-of-three. In December 2018 a woman from Leicestershire said he had fled with jewellery including a £5000 diamond ring. Kean has several tattoos, including "Daddy's Little Angel" on his left arm and "Daddy's Little Princess" on the right.
Sergeant Iain McGillivray, of Govan Police Office, said: "Even if what you know seems trivial, please get in touch as every piece of information could help us find out where he is."
