Police still have no leads in the desperate search for a family man who disappeared after going out for a walk two weeks ago. The last sighting of Peter Baglin, 55, was in a petrol station in Mosley Common on Wednesday night (December 28). He has not been seen since.
There was a major search operation underway, with the Bridgewater Canal and woodland around Boothstown among the areas being combed by specialist teams. Some of Peter's belongings, including his hat, phone, bank cards, house key, headphones and an empty bottle of whiskey were later recovered. Some were near to the canal embankment.
Last week, after great-grandad Peter had been missing for seven days, his devastated wife Michelle told the Manchester Evening News how her partner of almost 30 years told her over the phone he was going out for a walk to 'clear his head' and would 'be home soon'. He has not yet returned.
