Mystery of missing Brummie who never turned up to meet friends more than four decades ago

Police are appealing for anyone who might have information as to the whereabouts of Douglas Mortimer.

Douglas was reported missing by his family in December 1981.

The then 44-year-old, from Birmingham, would be 87 years old now.

It is hoped that by issuing this appeal, it may lead to someone remembering anything about his disappearance.

The family of Douglas are asking for anyone who may have information in relation to his disappearance to come forward.

Douglas was approximately 5ft 8ins tall, had a medium build, short grey hair and blue eyes. He worked on the Waterboard and in Ladywood Social Club.

He went missing from his address on December, 3 1981, and was last seen in Ladywood.

He was supposed to be meeting friends at Ladywood Social Club on the evening of December 3 but sadly never turned up.

No trace of Douglas has ever been found, but police are hoping our renewed appeal will help jog people's memories who lived in the area at the time.
