Mum of man missing from Buxton issues heartfelt plea for help to find him

Christopher Coleby was last seen at around 6am on Friday July 17 on Corbar Woods Lane.

His mum Tracey Coleby said Christopher usually lives in Manchester but had been staying with the family in Buxton because of concerns about his welfare.

He had been out camping during the week he disappeared but returned home on the Friday morning, speaking to his mum briefly before she left for work.

Posting on Facebook she said: “Words can’t describe how we’re all feeling just now.

"Although there has been a few possible sightings, our son Chris Coleby is still missing and as yet nothing has come of the sightings.

"It’s 10 days now since we last saw him.

"Trying desperately to keep positive but this is getting harder day by day.

"Please keep helping us find him by looking out for him and sharing. Thank you.”

Police issued an appeal to find Christopher last week and described him as white, of slim build, with a bald head and a beard. They said he was wearing light grey jogging bottoms, a blue t-shirt, a blue Berghaus jacket with a hood, and black walking boots when he was last seen.

However, Tracey said he was wearing shorts and a green hoodie in the first confirmed sighting in Chapel-en-le Frith on July 17.

Anyone with any information about Christopher’s whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 865 of July 21.
