Police searching for a missing Herefordshire man have released CCTV footage showing the last confirmed sighting of him as specialist search teams continue operations near the Welsh border.
Roger Midgley, 59, from Kington, was reported missing on Thursday, 5 November, but has not been seen since Monday, 26 October. Detectives investigating his disappearance now believe he may have travelled into Wales.
The newly released CCTV footage, captured on Headbrook in Kington, shows the last confirmed sighting of Roger. Officers have since established that he was not with the vehicle visible in the footage, as enquiries continue to trace his movements after that point.
Search teams, including specialist officers, remain active in rural areas around the Herefordshire-Wales border as police work to build a clearer picture of where Roger may have gone.
Roger is described as a white man with tanned skin, a grey beard and grey hair that is long at the back. He is of slim build with broad shoulders and stands just under 6ft tall. Police say he walks with a mobility aid and may be wearing a dark jacket or fleece, Crocs and a beanie hat.
Detective Sergeant Naz Waliat said police were releasing the footage in the hope that it would prompt memories and generate new leads.

He said: “We are releasing this CCTV footage in the hope it jogs someone’s memory and helps us establish Roger’s movements. The footage was captured on Headbrook in Kington on Monday 26 October and is the last confirmed sighting we have of him.
“We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen him that day or in the days that followed.
“Following our initial enquiries, we now know Roger is not with the vehicle seen in the CCTV footage. However, we still need to understand where he went afterwards, and any information from the public could be crucial in helping us build a clearer picture of his movements.”
Police have urged residents not to dismiss information they believe may be insignificant, stressing that even a single sighting or piece of footage could prove vital to the investigation.
Det Sgt Waliat added: “A sighting, a conversation, or a piece of CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage could provide the vital lead we need.
“If you were in Kington on 26 October, travelled through the area, or have been in border communities between Herefordshire and Wales in recent days, please think back and get in touch if you remember seeing Roger.
“We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who recognises him from the CCTV footage or who has information that could help us find him.”
Anyone who believes they have seen Roger Midgley or has information about his whereabouts is asked to call 999 and quote reference 00119_i_05112026.
