The daughter of a missing Mapperley man has made an emotional appeal for information.

The family of Anthony Campbell, 59, contacted police after he having failed to turn up for work as a caretaker in Sneinton last Monday (November 23, 2020).

Now daughter Holly Wilde, who last saw her Dad for a family meal on Saturday afternoon (November 21, 2020) at her home in Bulwell, is asking the public to help find him.

Anthony had arranged to meet with his family the following day, but he didn’t arrive.

Holly said: “This is really out of character of him. The whole family is so worried. He didn’t turn up to work last Monday which is just not like him.

“We are now pleading to anyone who may have seen him or has any information of where he is to please contact the police.

“He’s such a loveable character and is really popular, there must be someone who knows something.

“If you are reading this Dad, please get in contact with us, we miss you. We just want to know you’re safe.”

“It was reported he wasn’t feeling himself when he saw Holly and was a little low. This was the last contact she had with him. It’s been longer than a week now, so we are reissuing an appeal to help with our investigation.

“We continue to trace CCTV footage, chasing possible sightings of him and speaking to people close to him to understand the whole picture and why he’s disappeared.

“If you have any information please call 101, quoting incident number 270 of 23 November 2020.”
