One Year On: Fresh Police Appeal as Dean Cassell Vanishes Without Trace
It’s been a full year since 52-year-old Dean Cassell mysteriously disappeared from Portsmouth – and police are desperate for fresh leads.
Last Seen in Cosham – Time Is Ticking
Dean was last seen around 3.30pm on Thursday 26 September 2019 in the Widley Court Drive area of Cosham. Despite a frantic search, he was only reported missing three days later and has been off the radar ever since.
CCTV Footage Sparks New Hope
Police have re-released CCTV snaps showing Dean withdrawing cash from a NatWest ATM on West Street, Havant, that same evening. Later, he was caught on camera at Nutbourne railway station in West Sussex.
“We’re urging anyone who may have seen Dean recently or over the past year to take a good look at these images,” police said. “Does he look familiar to you?”
