New details which could help trace the whereabouts of a man who vanished in Wales almost four years ago have been revealed. Jordan Moray was 32 years old when he disappeared from his home in Aberdare on July 24, 2019, and has not been since since despite major efforts to locate him.
The door of the former boxer's flat was left unsecure with his games console still running and his mobile phone was left charging. Three and a half years on Jordan's whereabouts remain unknown despite searches and a South Wales Police investigation. There has been no sign of life, no financial transactions, nor any contact with anyone else.
In an episode of new Channel Five series Vanished: The Hunt for Britain's Missing People police revealed details of a handwritten letter sent to the force three months into their investigation into Jordan's disappearance. Until now the contents of the mystery letter had not be revealed to the public.

But in Thursday's episode, hosted by Dan Walker, South Wales Police sergeant Gareth Davies explained that the letter was from an individual who wrote that they felt they had information on his disappearance. He said the person wrote that they "should have come forward a little bit sooner" and that Jordan had "been on my mind for weeks".
Sgt Davies said the person wrote that they had been walking their dog along the road in the early hours of the morning after Jordan was last seen when they saw a Land Rover parked up on the kerb by the comprehensive school. They wrote that they heard rustling and someone shouting out: "If anyone is out there, help me."
Sgt Davies said the person who wrote the letter suggested some possible leads which the force had explored but that others mentioned in the letter could still be examined. He added that there may be other ways for anyone with info on Jordan to help.
"We know that Jordan has a driving licence. We also know there has been no movement at all in his finances since he left. If he is living off-grid he is probably working cash in hand," he said, adding that if anyone was aware of having worked with Jordan they should get in touch with police. He added that this was possible even if Jordan didn't want to be identified himself but that such information could reassure his family that he had not come to harm.

Sgt Davies said he believed there were a number of possible scenarios involved in Jordan's disappearance: that he was taken by a third party; that he left of his own accord to cause himself harm or take his own life; that he had gone up to the mountains and been injured or in an accident and unable to call for help; or that he was living off-grid either alone or with someone else. Anyone with information on Jordan's whereabouts is asked to call South Wales Police on 101 and say his name.
The episode also included a pre-recorded interview with Jordan’s mother Debbie Moray who issued a further appeal for information on her son's whereabouts. Debbie said she had struggled to eat since her son vanished and still walked around the area three times a week looking for him.
"I can't make sense of it, I really can't. I don't know what to think," she said. Debbie said she picked Jordan up to go shopping on the day she last saw him and dropped him off. He said he would see her tomorrow and she informed him she was on an early shift at work but he told her he would still see her. "And that was it. Jordan enjoyed boxing and was the Welsh champion for three years. He was very quiet, kept himself to himself, a bit of a loner." She added that Jordan enjoyed the outdoors and would often walk up the mountains and cook for himself there.
Debbie said she goes out walking three times a week looking for Jordan, adding: "I just feel empty. Can't speak, can't eat. He is a massive part of my life, always has been. I'm heartbroken. I'll keep going until I have answers either way."
In August 2019 Debbie made a heartfelt plea for her son to return home. In a short video she said Jordan was "independent and keeps himself to himself". She continued: "He’s pretty quiet really and loves the outdoor life. He would phone me and ask me to pick up a couple of disposable barbecues and a steak. He’d meet me and he’d go up the mountain and eat it up there for hours and hours.
“The police had the forensics team inside his flat but I think he’s gone of his own accord. His rucksack's missing, his headlamp has gone, along with his trainers – we’re heartbroken."

Despite the strange circumstances surrounding his disappearance there have been some glimmers of hope for Jordan's family. In January 2021 there was a possible sighting in the Stratford-upon-Avon area. A man claimed to have spoken to Jordan in September 2020 and later on recognised him from an appeal posted on the police's website. There have also been further possible sightings in the area.
