The devastated partner of a missing Gateshead dad has made a heartfelt appeal for him to come home.
Chantell Smith has not seen her partner Kyle Bird since Friday, April 22, and has pleaded for him to get in touch. She said she received a text from him on Saturday April 23, just after 3pm but neither Chantell or his family have heard anything from him since.
Kyle, who turned 34 on May 7, was last seen in Rowlands Gill near Maguires Chip shop. A police investigation has shown that he may have been in the vicinity of the River Derwent near Blaydon Rugby Club.
