Paul Johnson: Extensive police searches underway as concern grows for missing 74...

Police have said that he is a keen walker and would go for walks in expansive areas such as local golf courses, including the Balgove, Craigtoun Country Park and the Strathkinness area.

Extensive searches have been undertaken in these areas by the police with assistance from search and rescue partners, police dogs, and the Air Support Unit, however, there have been no further sightings of him.

Inspector Stuart Hay said:"Last Wednesday, police spoke to over 100 people during a revisit to where Paul was last seen. Everyone was very helpful but unfortunately we have still not managed to find him yet.

"I am keen for people, those who have not already come forward, to check their dash-cam or private or doorbell systems just in case they may have captured footage of Paul.

"It's been a fortnight now since he was last seen and, as you can imagine, this has been a very distressing time for his family.
