CCTV of Justin Henry's final moments before he disappeared from south London has been released as his "devastated" family issues a plea to the public for answers.
Footage of the 34-year-old ordering McDonald's from a drive-thru in Croydon was released on Monday as a Metropolitan Police murder probe continues.
Justin was last seen in person leaving his partner's house in Brixton on the evening of Sunday October 15. He was then seen ordering food at a McDonald's on London Road before he was reported missing on Monday October 16.
Two men, aged 28 and 29, have been charged in connection with the murder probe but Justin has not been found.
A spokesperson for his family said: "Our family is devastated and want answers. Justin is a loving and happy person and wouldn’t hurt a fly.
"This is a plea to the public for information on where Justin is. This could be your son or loved one. Justin comes from a very close family who are desperate for answers."
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Webb, of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “We hope that in releasing this footage it will jog someone’s memory and help us give Justin’s family the answers they are desperately waiting for. Our investigation remains ongoing and I want to reiterate my commitment to his family that the search to find Mr Henry continues.
"I would ask the public to look at this footage. Do you remember seeing this car? Do you remember seeing the driver? Did you see this car after it left McDonald’s?
"Mr Henry’s family are depending on your answers to these questions. Please come forward and share what you know either with police directly or anonymously via Crimestoppers."
Detectives are trying to piece together Justin’s movements, in particular late on Sunday October 15, and in the early hours of the following Monday.
At around 9.50pm on that Sunday Justin ordered food at the London Road McDonald’s drive-thru in Croydon.
Officers believe Justin drove from that McDonald's to nearby Waddon New Road where his silver Mercedes E Class remained for around two-and-a-half hours.
The Mercedes was laterfound on Monday October 16 in Kingswood Drive, SE19.
It is unclear who was driving the vehicle when it arrived at Kingswood Drive shortly after 1am on October 16 due to indistinct CCTV image of the driver, but Justin’s family state that it was not him.
Officers have conducted forensic examinations of an property in Croydon and Justin’s car, as well as extensive CCTV and phone inquiries.
On October 18 a woman, 27, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping. She has since been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in mid-January 2024.
Detectives still desperately need more information about Justin’s disappearance and the days leading up to him going missing, the Met said.
