Hi, and welcome back to The Unseen Podcast, a podcast dedicated to missing people, unresolved cases, and UK true crime. Today's day eight of twelve days of missing person episodes throughout December. This episode is about the disappearance of fifty two year old Paul Parvin from his home in North Yorkshire in twenty eighteen. Since he left his home, he has not been seen. This episode is about a missing person, so there are no descriptions of violence, but listened discretion

is always advised. Cessa is a small village located around four miles away from the larger market town of Thirsk. The village is rural and is surrounded by fields and greenery, many of which house large and family farms. It's a picturesque village with what appears to be a tight knit community of people who get involved with village life and events. North Yorkshire has frequently been listed as one of the best places to live in the UK, and so many

people lived there for the peaceful way of life. Fifty two year old Paul Parvin was one of those people who owned a farm in the village and worked as a livestock farmer. On April thirtieth twenty eighteen. Paul was at his home on the farm in the village as usual. There has been little information published about Paul's usual routine or any particular jobs that he had to do on the farm. What was known was that he left his home at around nine pm that evening. This may or

may not have been out of character for him. It was clear though, that when hours had passed and he still had not returned, this was unusual behavior. Paul had clearly not just disappeared without coming home before, and so this was a concern. When he still hadn't returned after several hours and days, this was an even larger concern. Now. The Yorkshire Police became involved and Paul was officially listed

as a missing person. A description of him, along with what he was wearing that day, was issued to the public. He was described as white, five feet eleven inches tall, with sharp, black wavy hair that was graying and a sharp beard. When he disappeared, he was thought to be wearing a black baseball cap, red and black checked lumberjack shirt, black jeans, and sharp black boots, as well as a three quarter length olive green coat with a fleece lining

and hood. It's not thought that he took anything else with him when he left his home that night. The rural nature of the village meant that there was an awful lot of ground to cover in the search for him, and the fact that he left his home at night was also an issue. There were many areas that Paul could have become lost or stuck around the village, and so the police asked for assistance from several other agencies,

including five mountain rescue teams. They also drafted in help from volunteers from the local area to help search for him. There was a lot of land to cover, and the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team later said that they searched around thirteen kilometers of the river swale and many acres of woodland around Paul's farm in the hope that they would find him. In many cases of missing people, the person

does get found and is unharmed. However, when someone goes missing at night in a rural area, there's a lot of concern about their welfare. When Paul wasn't found straight away, North Yorkshire Police explained that they were becoming increasingly worried and appealed for anyone to contact them if they thought

they'd seen him. A police spokesperson said police have carried out extensive inquiries to find Paul, including searches with the volunteer search and rescue teams and using air support from the National Police Air Service, but Paul remains missing. Officers are asking members of the public to report any sightings of Paul and to contact them if they've seen him.

Since Monday evening, as the search continued, there were reports that Paul may have traveled to the city of York, which is around twenty one miles away from his home. It's unclear why it was thought that he may have traveled there or what information led them to believe this. This information, however, changed and it was later reported that Paul may have gone to Harrogut, which is close to York,

about twenty two miles away. Residents of both York and Harrow were asked to be on the lookout for Paul and to report any sightings of him to the police. Since twenty eighteen, when he disappeared, there has been little more published about Paul's disappearance, and it doesn't seem as though there's been much public progress. He seems to have just left his home and vanished without a trace and

this is always so devastating and confusing for families. Paul's family still does not know where he is or if he's safe, and they deserve to find out what happened and where he is. Inspector Jeff Crocker of North Yorkshire Police said, Paul, the police and your family are very concerned about you and want to know that you're safe. If you read or hear this appeal, please contact your family, friends or the police and let us know that you're okay.
