He had previously made mention of looking to find work fruit picking “down South”. Mr Warr was a wild camper and his disappearance sparked concern as he usually kept in touch with his family. He was last seen carrying a backpack and wearing a grey zipped jacket, grey jeans and hiking boots.
Police re-appealed to find Mr Warr after he remained missing on Wednesday, August 3. Detectives grew concerned for Carl who was known to go camping alone and visit Otley Chevin, Carlisle and Cumbria but said it was out of character for him to be out of contact for so long.
