MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF DERBYSHIRE POLICE

Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of Chief Inspector Tim Frohwein who has been missing from his home in Buxton since Sunday November 17.

Tim is believed to have left his home sometime after 1.20pm and someone he knows saw him walking along the Old Roman Road out of the town at about 1.30pm.

Assistant Chief Constable Dee Collins said: “We know at that time there were several off-road bikers and about 20 ramblers in the area and we are sure they will have seen Tim as he walked into the countryside.

“We have no idea which route he took so it is vital that we talk to people who saw him.

"This is completely out-of-character for Tim and as the weather has been so cold recently we are very worried about his welfare."

Tim is 6ft 3ins tall and has dark hair and glasses. He was wearing a ¾ length dark coat, pale blue shirt and brown jeans. He was probably carrying a walking pole.

Extensive searches by police and Mountain Rescue volunteers have been conducted since his disappearance. Those searches are continuing.
Anyone who can help the police investigation should contact officers on 101.

This sounds very similar to a story from years ago....but in the Peak District, maybe?

I hope it doesn't end the same way.
