Police investigating 30-year mystery of missing man widen search to Dundee

Police investigating the disappearance of a man over 30 years ago have widened the search after receiving reports of a possible sighting in Dundee in the mid-2000s.

Keith Woodburn, 58, was reported missing from Cumbria in February 1990 when he was just 25.

Cumbria Police recently issued an appeal and stated they believed Keith had last been seen on Union Street in Aberdeen a few years after he vanished. But another possible sighting in Dundee has been revealed by officers.

A fresh appeal has been issued for anyone in the Dundee area who may have information on Keith's whereabouts.

He spent the majority of his life in Ulverston and was living in Barrow-in-Furness at the time he was reported missing.

Doug Marshall, a Police Staff Senior Investigating Officer at Cumbria Constabulary, said: “First of all we would like to thank everyone who has shared our appeal, which has led to information of Mr Woodburn being sighted in the Dundee area in the mid-2000s.

“We are therefore asking people in the Dundee area to report any information they have about Mr Woodburn.

“Our priority remains to establish if he is safe and find answers for his family.”

Anyone with information on Mr Woodburn’s whereabouts is asked to call 101 and request to speak to Cumbria Police.
