Missing Elderly Man from Nunhead

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Would you please all keep a look out for Mr Pat Connelly, 83, missing from Nunhead since 1 pm Thursday, 7 June.

He is white, about 5'6", has white hair, though mostly bald. He has a strong Irish accent. He has slightly protruding ears. Narrow, slightly pointed nose. Very defined cheek bones. Slender build.

He was probably wearing a cap and a zip-up, dark coloured jacket (not anorak) was also wearing his slippers. He wears gold-rimmed glasses.

Peckham Police Station are co-ordinating the search, so please call them if you have any information.

He is on medication for a heart condition and does not have this with him.

He is known to visit Nunhead Cemetery often, so if you are a dog walker, please keep a special look out.

Other known occasional haunts are St Thomas' Church, Nunhead, Irish shop on Lordship Lane, cafes and shops in Nunhead, and the Southbank near Waterloo.

Many thanks.

Have you informed Social Services Out of Hours Team? he may already be known to Social Services, but having done

out of hours work, I have experienced general public ringing through with concerns about vulnerable people, specially if they are unable to give details of name and address. Check out with A& E Kings and Lewisham Hospitals

( you probably have already done this) Southwark Social Services often get circulated photos of 'missing people'

Hope he is found safe and well

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thanks Pugwash. Has been done, and all local hospitals.

Will keep an eye out .

When lady went missing from a home near me she was found other side of London .Lovely owners of cafe had given her breakfast and alerted police .

Hopefully a similarly kind person will take him in .

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thanks. To date there has been no mental confusion so it's somewhat worrying.

Message from on of his grandsons:

Hi, I am very greatful for all your kind words and effort to help us find our grandad, dad, great grandfather, brother, friend and part of the community.

We have had a little bit of a lead where he has been spotted in Waterloo yesterday morning at 3am. We have still not caught up with him even though we have been out looking 23hours a day.

We are having a meet at platform 15 in Waterloo train station at 2pm today (10 June) with flyers with the police, at the moment we have good number however the more the merrier.

The police have also not ruled out the local area which we will also keep searching, We will be briefed with the police very soon on the local areas

Once again i thank you all for your kind words, messages and great community spirit. I will keep you all posted and hope we find Grandad soon

[TillieTrotter]

How upsetting this must be for the family. God love him. x

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Still no news. Please remember to keep a look out.

I'm so sorry to hear of your missing grandad.

You've probably done this already: put posters up at all his usual haunts/local train stations/bus stops/shops (even ones that he doesn't use but lots of people do - Sainsburys DKH/co-op Lordship Lane etc.

I do hope you have some good news soon, thinking of you.

[antantant]

There is no doubt it's been done already - I have seen the flyers all over the place, from Telegraph Hill to Forest Hill. We're definitely keeping our eyes open and also hope for good news soon.

If it any consolation we were asked about this by the local Police yesterday as we tilled our allotment on the Stuart Road Allotments site - no one had seen him but at least this shows everyone is trying

[theasidonio]

The poster is also doing the rounds on facebook. I have shared this and asked all my local friends to do the same!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thanks all. Yes flyers have gone out in all his haunts, even in the most unlikely places.

[muffins78]

I tried to post the details on FB yesterday, and when I logged on, people in Ireland were also posting about him to find him also. I know its a bit removed, but everyone is thinking of him.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

THanks muffins. Villages in Ireland have been contacted in case he turns up there.
