Shane Walsh: Search continues for missing Shrewsbury father, 29
The search resumed today for Shane Walsh, the married father-of-two who has gone missing after a night out in Shrewsbury.
River rescue crews were yesterday deployed in the search for Mr Walsh, from Shrewsbury, who was last seen by a friend in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 29-year-old had been to a family party in Church Stretton and after returning to Shrewsbury visited a number of pubs and clubs.
He had been due to stay at his parents' house on Saturday but did not arrive.
He was last seen by a friend in the town at 3am on Sunday after visiting the Yorkshire House pub, Bonds Nightclub and Fever & Boutique in Hills Lane.
The friend he had spent the evening with received a couple of text messages from him at around 3.50am but since then there has been no contact with his friends and family.
Shane is 6ft tall and of stocky build with short dark brown hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing grey jeans, grey pumps and a white T-shirt with a 'Playaz' motif on it.
West Mercia Search and Rescue said boat, kayak and land search teams have been sent to the town.
This afternoon Shrewsbury Police tweeted:
River rescue crews searched the River Severn yesterday afternoon, with the area around the Quantum Leap sculpture taped off.
The search coincided with a desperate plea for information made by Shane's wife Kirsty.
On Facebook, Mr Walsh's wife, Kirsty, wrote that she had not heard from him and his disappearance, which is totally out of character, was not a 'prank'. The couple married in 2016 and have two small children and live in the Harlescott area.
Inspector Ben Tanfield from West Mercia Police said: "We're extremely concerned for Shane's well-being. This is very out of character and we'd urgently like to hear from anyone who knows of his whereabouts."
Anyone who sees Shane or knows of his whereabouts should call 101 and quote incident 294s of September 3, 2017.
