Police have today issued a new photo of Barry McCullagh as the search for the missing dad approaches a third week.
The 40-year-old was last seen on Corsebar Road near the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley around 5.20pm on Wednesday October 5.
The Glasgow dad-of-two is described as 5ft 9in tall and of medium build with short, black hair.
When last seen, he was wearing black and navy jogging trousers, a black jacket, and grey and white trainers. Last week, police issued a CCTV image of Barry dressed in these clothes near the hospital.
So far, police searches have involved sniffer dogs searching the grounds around the hospital.
Meanwhile, homeowners have been asked to check their gardens and outbuildings for sign of Barry, who it is said was suffering from seizures for a year-and-a-half before being admitted to the RAH. It is understood he had been permitted to go outside for a smoke at the time of his disappearance.
Barry’s family have conducted their own searches around Paisley.
Stacey McCullagh, her sister April and extended family – who all live in Castlemilk – have been travelling to Paisley day and night to search for Barry.
The family are focusing their search on the woodlands and locations in the immediate area of the hospital.
They put out a call on Facebook for volunteers to help with searches on Thursday, October 13 and Saturday, October 15.
Stacey told the Paisley Daily Express last week: “We just can’t get over the fact that he is out there somewhere on his own. We just don’t know what has happened. He has nothing on him, no money and no phone or anything.
“He could have wandered somewhere and fallen, we just don’t know.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers at Paisley are reappealing for the assistance of the public to help trace 40-year-old Barry McCullagh, who was last seen around 5.20pm on Wednesday, October 5.
“Barry, who lives in Castlemilk, was last seen near to the Royal Alexandra Hospital on Corsebar Road, Paisley.
“He is described as 5ft 9in in height and of medium build with short, black hair. He was wearing black and navy jogging trousers, a black jacket, and grey and white trainers.
“Anyone with any information on Barry’s whereabouts is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 3910 of 5 October, 2022.”
