“Extensive inquiries are ongoing to trace Peter and I would encourage anyone with any information regarding Peter’s disappearance to contact police as a matter of urgency.

“Any piece of information, no matter how small or insignificant you think it is, could prove vital so please do pass it on to officers.

“We have also set up a website that gives members of the public access to a form to send information directly to the major investigation team.

“You can select to remain anonymous when submitting information.

“The portal can be accessed at: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/SCOT22S27-PO1.”
