Yesterday, Jodie said: “We’ve looked along the banks and checked in derelict buildings, anywhere he could’ve crawled into and taken refuge.

They’ve spoken to local bars, restaurants and nightclubs.Shortly after Joop vanished, Charley launched an urgent appeal on social media.“Family really worried.
