Thing is at first at thought he might have wandered near water after a night out, but looking at the location of the quarry I think it would have to be intentional. Then again it might have been a short cut.

There's a lot of crime in Rugby, or there was when I lived nearby seven years ago or so. I hope he's OK.

On another note, the council asked people not to swim in Newbold Quarry due to the dangers it poses. If he fell in, especially in February, it would pose significant risk to life.

Cllr Jim Ellis said: "With the beautiful weather and the rising temperatures, it's temping to see shimmering water at the quarry and think a quick dip won't hurt.

"But we've had plenty of deaths over the years where the 50ft deep freezing cold water has claimed lives.

"It's not a safe swim. The waters are very dangerous, treacherous even. Please stay out of the water."

I hate to say this, but Warwickshire are doing the precise same thing Lancs did with Nicola Bulley. They're focussing on just one piece of water, assuming that, because it's close to where he went missing, then he must be in there. Obviously they will have gathered some other information, and of course NB's body was ultimately found in the Wyre, but it feels limiting, myopic, a bit narrow-sighted to just focus on water in this way, in any case where a significant body of water is in the vicinity. JMO.

No further news here? Or is it like the Jack Rogers case where he has been sadly found deceased earlier this week but no update from police, and only reference is via friends/family SM posts.

There’s “Help Find Toby Burwell” FB page run by his mother.

Toby is unfortunately still missing, it seems.
