Search continues for man missing without coat in freezing conditions

Police searching for a man missing for three days with no coat in freezing conditions have released CCTV images of the last sighting of him.

Rodrigo Falcon, 33, was last seen heading down Grampian Road towards the southern end of Aviemore in the Highlands at around 3.10am on Sunday.

He had no coat on and was wearing just a jumper and baggy jeans.

The 33-year-old disappeared while a Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice was in place for much of Scotland.

Police said searches are continuing and appealed for information about the missing man.

Chief Inspector Alasdair McLeod, south Highland area commander, said: “As time goes on we are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Rodrigo.

“It is obvious from the response we have had that there is great concern in the community for his well-being and I would like to thank the local community for their assistance so far.

“Local officers, along with specialist officers, are continuing to carry out extensive searches.

“We are also identifying further CCTV opportunities in the area and in particular would welcome assistance from local businesses or residents who may have private CCTV.

“As part of our inquiries, it has been established that Rodrigo was not wearing his brown woollen coat, but was seen on CCTV wearing his red jumper and baggy jeans with no coat.

“He is described as being 5ft 6in tall, of slim build, with dark hair cut in a mullet style with a moustache and beard.

“Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Rodrigo should call 101, quoting reference 2387 of December 11.”
