Police have issued a desperate plea for information nearly two weeks after a man who disappeared while camping next to a Scots loch.
Reece Rodger was last seen by his friends while camping on the north shore of Loch Rannoch, near to Killichonan, in Perthshire, around 11.30pm on Saturday, March 18, 2023.
The Fife native is described as 6ft, of medium build with dark hair. When last seen he was wearing a black long-sleeved t-shirt with distinctive white letters on both sleeves spelling out – MA STRUM, black jogging bottoms and black wellington boots.
Police officers have been assisted the Air Support Unit, the Dive and Marine Unit, police dogs and Mountain Rescue Teams but have so far been unable to locate the 28-year-old.
Friends and family are also preparing to comb the area this weekend. Reece’s partner Paula set up a dedicated Facebook page ‘Please Help to Find Reece’ last week.
In a public appeal on Tuesday, she wrote: “Can we be out in force on Saturday and Sunday, please? Let’s mark the second week of Reece’s disappearance with as many people as possible. I need Reece home now. He’s missed more than ever. My boys need their daddy...and I need my best pal.
Inspector Stephen Gray of Police Scotland said: “Despite extensive enquiries, rigorous searches in the local area and previous appeals we have not been able to trace Reece.
“As time goes on concerns are growing and we are again appealing to anyone who saw Reece or who has any information on his whereabouts to contact us.
“I would appeal to anyone who was travelling on the B846 between 11pm on March 18 and 7am on March 19 and who may have witnessed anyone or who may have dashcam footage which could assist us to get in touch.
“I would like to thank the family and friends of Reece who have assisted in searches to date. I would ask anyone planning to attend searches this weekend to remain safe and plan for the conditions. The terrain can be difficult with open water and changeable weather conditions and we want to ensure everyone remains safe.”
Anyone with information that may assist is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 1348 of Sunday, March 19.
