Police Renew DJ Derek Appeal
Avon and Somerset Police have renewed their appeal for information on the whereabouts of Derek Serpell-Morris.
The 73-year-old, from Bristol, was last seen on CCTV leaving The Criterion Pub, Ashley Road, Bristol, at 00.13am on 11 July.
Officers now believe that Derek may have taken the 10.32am number 78 bus from Bristol to Thornbury that same day.
If so, Derek would have arrived in the Thornbury area between 11.20am and 12 noon.
DCI Matthew Iddon, who is leading the investigation, said: "The search for Derek continues unabated and we are continuing to fully investigate all lines of enquiry.
"We believe that Derek used his bus pass on the 10.32am number 78 bus which travels from Bristol to Thornbury. This would have put Derek arriving in the Thornbury area between 11.20am and 12noon.
"I am appealing directly for anyone who regularly uses the number 78 bus on a Saturday morning from Bristol to Thornbury to have a look at the photo of Derek and see if you recall seeing him.
"Equally, anyone who lives around any of the number 78 bus stops in Thornbury – do you recognise Derek and did you see him on Saturday July 11?
"We are continuing to liaise closely with Derek's family and keep them fully updated."
Derek is described as a white male, of average height, slim build with grey hair. He also wears glasses.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
