Where’s Justin? Family Desperate for Answers After Mysterious Disappearance
Justin Henry, 34, vanished without a trace after being spotted at his partner’s Brixton home on the evening of Sunday, 15 October. CCTV shows Justin stopping off at a McDonald’s drive-thru on London Road, Croydon, around 9:50pm that night — his last known sighting.
Family Plea: “Justin Would Never Hurt a Fly”
A spokesperson for Justin’s family said: “Our family is devastated and want answers. Justin is a loving person and wouldn’t hurt a fly. This is a plea to the public for information on where Justin is. This could be your son or loved one. Justin comes from a very close family who are desperate for answers.”
Police Release CCTV, Appeal for Witnesses
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Webb of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command urged the public to help. He said:
“We hope that releasing this footage will jog someone’s memory and help us give Justin’s family the answers they are desperately waiting for. Our investigation is ongoing, and I want to reiterate my commitment to his family that the search continues.
Please look closely at this footage. Do you recognise this car or the driver? Did you see the vehicle after it left McDonald’s? Justin’s family are depending on your help. Come forward, either directly to police or anonymously through CrimeStoppers.”
