    Glyn Taylor (pictured) disappeared in broad daylight on a road near Spalding in 2001.

    As technology has developed, police have started using new techniques to find out what happened.

    But Detective Superintendent Jon McAdam, who's involved in the operation, says police have "no idea what happened to him or where he is" but say they review the case on a yearly basis.

    But despite two decades passing, Glyn's childhood friend has set up a Facebook page, desperate to find anyone who may have seen him all those years ago.

    Quote Message

    We wish we knew where he was. If he's listening, just get in touch with us, you're not in trouble. We want to know. We just want to give you a hug and say everything's going to be fine.

  12. Homeless Army veteran stages City Hall protestpublished at 13:00 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2019

    homeless man and tent

    Tom Foley, who was in the Army for five years, has pitched a tent outside City Hall to appeal for a home.

    He says he's "gone down every avenue" and registered with "every charity" to try and find a suitable place to live.

    Lincoln City Council says it's offered him a bedsit, but he's refused it because he says it's too small to accommodate his four children.

    Quote Message

    If I'm out of sight, it's out of mind with these. I just hope that here they'll see what I'm actually going through. I believe it's their job to get me somewhere, so here I am, and I'm not moving until they do."

    Sgt Mike Templeman was having a hot drink with some colleagues when a member of the public asked whether it was the best use of taxpayers' money.

    Sgt Templeman says he often receives funny looks when on a break while in uniform - but until now, he'd never had anyone say anything to him:

    Quote Message

    One of the reasons I encourage all my staff to go out and have their breaks out if they can is because we're visible. People are always saying the police aren't visible. So we try to be, and we can respond quicker to jobs."
