Urgent Help Please read and share everywhere you can

[Rosie Posy]

Hi all Please read and share this article and help us find a much loved and missed Crystal Palace community activist, Robbie left home on Monday and there has been no word from him since, his Wife and young Son are distraught and his many friends have been literally working around the clock producing and delivering posters and flyers to the public. Robbie was one of the campaigners for the Carnegie Library in Lambeth and during his time inside there he became unwell, sadly this has continued since and we now worry that everything has become too much for him, please share share share, far and wide. Thanking you in anticipation of your kindness and help. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/c ... 72796.html

Have wooded areas etc of local parks been searched in case he became physically unwell and collapsed?

This happened to a local man a few years back, and unfortunately the initial park search was not sufficiently thorough :(

ETA: Fingers crossed he's found safe soon.

Your Evening Standard link doesn't work btw, did you put in the full URL? The forum software shortens it for display, but will only work if the full URL is there in the first place I think, and there seem to be some extra dots in yours?

I guess you mean Pat Connelly, Sue. Your emoticon puts it mildly. His disappearance was reported here on 8 June 2012. The report of his body having been found in Peckham Rye Park appeared on 20 June: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,899219 p.5. I remember searching in Nunhead Cemetery for him on a couple of afternoons. The thought of his not being found in the park had not even occurred to me.

Is any help needed now in doing effective, systematic searches of similar places where Robert Gibson might have gone, that haven't yet been done? Is anyone other than the police overseeing or planning a search strategy? These broadcast appeals are obviously useful, but in themselves have only a limited effectiveness.

Does the ES report of "Dulwich Park" possibly mean or include Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Woods, and how well have they been searched for Robert so far? What are his other favoured walking places?

PS I've now seen (main pinned thread) the Croydon Advertiser report of an East Croydon sighting on Monday at 1520.

Hello all many thanks for your help and suggestions, the Croydon sighting was in fact just the last signal from his phone only, so it leaves a lot of possibilities. Please please if you can share the story on facebook and twitter and keep an eye out for him, there's over a hundred people working on getting him home safe xx
