POLICE are still searching for a Widnes man who has been missing for more than a week.
Keith Fitzpatrick, aged 26, was living with his family in West Bank, when he disappeared last Monday evening, January 30.
His relatives and friends say it is completely out character for him not to make contact.
Specialist units using an aeroplane and dogs have scoured the area near his home to find clues.
His car, a beige Lexus estate has been found, but no trace of him.
Chief Inspector Bev Raistrick said "We are extremely concerned for Keith′s welfare, especially given the exceptionally cold weather conditions we have experienced over the last few days.
“He has not been in touch with any of his friends or family which further compounds our concern for him.
“We have committed a significant number of resources in the search for Keith, and appeal to anyone who may have seen him, or anyone matching his description to contact us.
“I would extend the appeal to Keith himself. We are very concerned about you and urge you to make contact with Cheshire Police or your nearest police station"
Keith is described as white, 5′10" tall, with medium length brown hair and a short brown beard.
When last seen he was wearing a black collared North Face coat, blue jeans and black trainers.
Anyone with information can call Cheshire Police on 101.
