The family of 77-year-old Graham Collett is appealing for help after he went missing on March 3. Graham was last seen around 8:30 a.m. in the Ellwood Road area of Milkwall, near Coleford. Since his disappearance, extensive search efforts have been underway, including ground searches, house-to-house inquiries, and CCTV reviews.
His brother, Ian Collett, made an emotional plea: “We just want Graham to come back and to know that he is okay. The family is extremely worried, and we urge anyone with any information to come forward.” Ian continued, “These past weeks have been incredibly difficult as we try to understand where Graham might have gone. If you are reading this, Graham, please let us know that you are safe.”
Graham is known to be a keen walker who has previously covered long distances. He is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, slim, bald, wears glasses, and walks with a slight shuffle. Police have released two recent images of Graham to assist in locating him, though it’s believed he may now be wearing different clothing since his last known outfit was found at his home.
