“Please let us know you’re okay”: Family of missing Eltham father-of-five marks his 8th missing anniversary with support from national charity

0

Shaune, a father-of-five, grandfather, and uncle, was 45 when he last seen by his staff at Shurland Dale Holiday Park in Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey, on 17 May 2017.

His last confirmed sighting was in Eltham, South East London, on 27 June 2017, where he was having a medical appointment. Authorities were concerned for his welfare as he was suffering from poor mental health and in a poor state of mind.

He is known to have links to London, Kent, Essex and Sussex.

At the time of his disappearance, Shaune was described a white, with a medium build and a bald head. He has distinctive scarring from his shoulder blade to the lower back. On his left hand, he also has a tattoo of the name ‘Shaune’ over red flowers.

The search

Since 2017, the Missing People charity has supported Shaune’s family with counselling and publicity support.

Despite his family’s tireless efforts to find answers, Shaune’s missing investigation has found no significant leads to date.

To refresh public awareness, his sister, Suzy, created a dedicated Facebook page named: Justice for Missing Shaune Jones, from where she publishes any updates in her brother’s search.

Suzy has also filmed an exclusive video appeal to Shaune and the public as part of our Missing Pieces series. The video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/O3Za2ZumTYE.

Marking his eighth anniversary, she shares this message: “Please let us know you’re okay and safe, or please just come home.”
