Police appeal in search for missing Newcastle man Karl Pyle last seen in Ryton

Officers leading the search for a missing Newcastle man Karl Pyle are appealing for the public’s help – three weeks since he was last seen by his family.

Karl was last seen leaving an address on Whernside Walk in Ryton on the morning of March 6. His family were expected him to return to his home in Blucher. But they have received no contact from Karl, 32, and he remains missing, despite extensive enquiries carried out by police to find him.

He has also not contacted friends and those searching for Karl are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and are urging him – or anyone who has seen him – to get in touch.

A statement from Northumbria Police says officers want to ensure he is safe and well.

Karl is described as a white male, approximately 6ft of medium build. He was last seen wearing a dark-coloured T-shirt and black tracksuit bottoms.

Superintendent Scott Cowie, of Northumbria Police, said: “Ever since Karl was reported as missing three weeks ago, we have been carrying out a range of enquiries in a bid to find him and make sure he's safe.

“Unfortunately those enquiries have yet to lead us to Karl's location – and tonight, three weeks on from his disappearance, I am appealing to our communities to let us know if they have heard from him or know where he’s staying.

“Your information, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could prove key to our search. We all just want to make sure Karl is OK and I’d ask anybody who thinks they’ve seen him to get in touch.”

Karl, or anyone who knows where he may be, is asked to ring 101 immediately quoting log NP-20230314-0286.
