Missing Evan Reid's partner begs 'love of her life' to come home in gut-wrenching message

The girlfriend of missing Evan Reid has said the family have 'so many unanswered questions' in a gut-wrenching message to the 'love of her life' over a week after he disappeared.

Evan Reid, 31, was on the train home to Irvine, North Ayrshire on Saturday, March 25, at around 10pm when he appeared agitated and disembarked at Gilmour Street station in Paisley. CCTV footage captured his last known movement on Inchinnan Road, Paisley, at 10.06pm.

Having been on a night out in Glasgow, partner Nicole Murray received a text from Evan saying there was 'something dodgy happening' before losing contact. She previously told how neither Evan doesn't know anyone in Paisley and the family have no connection to the area.

On Sunday night, Nicole posted online to say the family still had 'so many unanswered question' in a message to the 'love of her life'.

She said: "My love, my life, my everything. Over a week now since you have went missing, over a week since I have seen your face, over a week since I have heard your voice.

"So many unanswered questions we all have, you are one in a million, so loved by so many."

Nicole had previously issued an appeal for information, saying “This is completely out of character for him, especially to have been on his way home and then get off at another station.

“Obviously we don’t know what kind of state he is in but this is not like him at all. He has no mental health issues, we just don’t know what’s happened.

“He was in Glasgow on a night out. He text me to say he was getting the train home. He said to me [in a text] there was something happening, something dodgy was happening. I didn’t know then that he was on the train already.

“We are waiting on CCTV from inside the train to see if that shows anything.”

Evan is described as being around 5ft 8in and of slim build. When last seen he was wearing a khaki green jumper, a black body warmer, dark blue jeans and grey trainers.

Police are appealing to anyone who was in the Paisley area near to the River Cart at the time he vanished to come forward.

Community Policing Inspector Laura Hamill said: “We are continuing our efforts to trace Evan Reid and would urge anyone who may have seen him on the night in question or thereafter to come forward.

“No matter how small you think the information is, it could be the vital piece we need to find out what happened to Evan. I’d also like to ask anyone who has premises with a camera or vehicles with dashcams that are in the surrounding area to check for signs of Evan, if we have not already made contact with you.”

Evan’s family said: “We would like to say thank you to the local communities and police in Paisley for their support and help to find Evan. Evan is a much loved member of our family and we plead for anyone with information to please speak to the police.”

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Police Scotland by calling 101, quoting incident number 4112 of Saturday, March 25, 2023.
