Urgent appeal as man goes missing after failing to board flight at Manchester Airport

Police are searching for a man who vanished after being dropped at Manchester Airport.

Kerry Dowd was picked up in a taxi at a hotel in his hometown of Southport and was taken to the airport at around 5:45am on Thursday (April 7). However he did not board a flight and it isn't believed he has his passport with him, said Merseyside Police who are leading the search operation.

There have been no sightings of him since he left The Scarisbrick Hotel on Lord Street in Southport and arrived at Manchester Airport's Terminal One. The force has now issued images of the 62-year-old, including a CCTV still, and are appealing for anyone who may have information to come forward.
