Jayran was last seen by his family almost four weeks ago at around 6pm on March 21. Inquiries have established that the last known contact made with Jayran was just after 10pm on Wednesday, March 22.

Mounting concerns around his whereabouts led to a three-day underwater search of a section of the River Tove in Towcester over the Easter weekend, and the investigation has continued since then as officers explore different lines of inquiry.

“We are also very grateful to the public for their continued support and to those who have already contacted us.

“We would still like to hear from anyone who may have information relating to this investigation. Even if it seems trivial, it may provide a vital link. So if there is anything you think might help us in our search for Jayran, please get in touch.”

Jayran’s parents released a statement over the Easter weekend, which said: “Jayran, it’s your Mum and Dad here. Please, please come home or at least let us know you are safe and well. We love you and have been worried sick about you.

“You are not in any trouble. We just want to know that you are safe and well."

Local neighbourhood officers remain out and about in Towcester, speaking with local people and carrying out patrols in the area around the river and the Watermeadows, where Jayran’s black North Face jacket was found on April 1.
