Family Renew Hunt for Missing Steelworker on Birthday
Andrew Capon, a steelworker from Grantham living in Castle Bytham, vanished without a trace 24 years ago. His mysterious disappearance happened after a night out in the seaside town of Skegness. Now, on his birthday, his family and friends are launching a fresh appeal for information.
Last Seen After Night Out in Skegness
On October 3, 1998, Andrew enjoyed a night out with three workmates, hitting several pubs before ending up at Streets nightclub on North Parade. The night took a dark turn when club door staff forcibly removed him. That was the last time Andrew was seen.
CCTV Captures Final Moments
Closed-circuit TV caught Andrew between 1:00 and 1:30 a.m. on Scarborough Avenue, opposite the pier. One colleague caught up with him on the corner, but after that — nothing. The colleague couldn’t recall what happened before he got into a taxi 30 minutes later, leaving Andrew’s fate a mystery.
Desperate Search Amid No Leads
1 have chased nearly 100 leads over the decades, but Andrew remains missing. His family and friends are devastated, still haunted by his sudden vanishing. Standing 6’2”, with blue eyes, blonde hair, a heavy build, pierced ears, tattoos on each arm, and a missing middle finger on his left hand, Andrew has distinct features that could help identify him.
Family’s Birthday Plea: Help Bring Andrew Home
As each year passes without answers, Andrew’s loved ones stay determined to find him. On his birthday, they again urge anyone with information to come forward and help solve this enduring mystery.
