“Dean, if you see this please call us or reach out to someone to let them know that you are safe.
“We are extremely grateful for all the work that has been done so far by the police and we would like to thank family, friends and the local community for the support and assistance they have provided us with so far during what has been a very upsetting time.
“We urge anyone who may have seen Dean, or who has any information at all that might help trace him to contact police as soon as possible.
