Missing Daniel Hives: Brother's plea on 30th birthday

Daniel Hives was last seen on 10 December 2022

The brother of a man missing for more than a year has made an emotional plea to help find him on his 30th birthday for his "devastated" family.

Daniel Hives was last seen on the evening of 10 December 2022.

He had left a property in City View, Sidings Close, Lancaster, close to the River Lune and has not been spotted since, Lancashire Police said.

"We all miss him so much and need answers," Robbie Hives said as he appealed for information.

He added: "Please if you know anything that could help, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, please contact police.

"Please, anyone with information come forward."

The force said it has carried out an extremely thorough investigation to find Mr Hives and still had dedicated officers assigned to the investigation.

This has included an extensive search of the river and surrounding area as well as exploring all CCTV and dashcam footage opportunities and speaking to witnesses, it said.

The force added: "Despite these exhaustive efforts, we have not been able to locate Daniel at this time.

"We remain in contact with Daniel's family and they are being kept updated on everything that is being done to find him."
