A WOMAN from Ross-on-Wye has made an emotional appeal to find her boyfriend who has been missing for 12 days.

Natasha Morgan, 28, is desperately searching for her boyfriend, Pat Lamb, who was last since in Maidstone, Kent on December 12 during a night out.

A major police search operation has been launched but as yet, Pat has not been found.

Natasha and Pat lived in Ross for a year with her parents, Terry and Lynne, four years ago before the couple moved to Greenhithe in Kent. During this time Pat worked as a barman in Play, Hereford.

Natasha, who went to John Kyrle High School, released an emotional video on Sunday appealing for Pat to return home.

She said: “Pat, if you’re listening, I love you so much. Please come home to me.

“It doesn’t matter what’s happened or if you feel embarrassed or if you think you’ve done something wrong. It really doesn’t matter.

“You know I forgive everything anyway. I love you so much and I just need you safe.

“I need your help with everything. I need you in my life; I need you to look after me. Please let me look after you now. Please come home, please don’t do anything. I love you so much."

Natasha, who has an older sister called Sam and a twin sister called Natalie, has been staying in Maidstone, Kent since his disappearance.

Pat went out with two friends in Maidstone on December 12 but they were split up during the night. CCTV images show him wandering around the streets in the town. The last confirmed sighting of Pat was on CCTV in Pudding Lane just after midnight.

Natalie Morgan said the family are concerned as on the CCTV he bumps the back of his head on a building, and they are worried he could be concussed and confused.

She said: “We will be spending Christmas searching the streets of Maidstone.

“The amount of time that has gone, if the worst hasn’t happened and we are praying it hasn’t, he could be anywhere in the country by now.”

Search and rescue teams have drafted in an aircraft to help in their hunt for Pat, who disappeared after leaving Bar Chocolate in Market Buildings.

A search of the River Medway by police divers has revealed nothing.

Natalie said: “Natasha is devastated and searching day and night. She has had no rest trying to find him.”
