Does anyone happen to know the crime rates in that area (Avenham Park)?

Emergency services have been searching the River Ribble for a teenager who went missing at the weekend.

Police say that a specialist water rescue unit from Lancashire Fire and Rescue have been trying to locate missing Michael Brookes who was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The search initially focused on the area around the park but was widened along the river to the Preston Docks area.

Bowland Mountain Rescue Team, search dogs, a drone and boats from Penwortham have all been called out to assist in the search which is now in its fourth day.

A spokesman for the police confirmed that the 19-year-old has not been found.

Missing Michael was reported to have been in the company of a friend on Avenham Park when he left the park alone.

The 19-year-old has not been seen since.

A spokesman for the police said in a tweet: "Today sees for the fourth day of searching for missing person Michael Brookes.

"Local officers are being assisted by @NPASHawarden, @MCA_Media, @SouthportRescue, @EnvAgencyNW and NW Police Underwater Search & Marine Unit. "

Michael is described as white, around 5ft 7ins, of slim build with short dark hair. He speaks with a Liverpudlian accent and was last seen wearing black skinny jeans and a black hooded top with a camouflage pattern at the bottom.

Michael was last seen around 2am on Sunday (January 14) in Avenham Park, Preston, with a friend. He left the park alone and has not been seen since. An intensive search has been going on all week, with his desperate family inviting everyone to help join in the hunt in the Avenham Park area on Saturday afternoon.*

Sadly Michael was not found despite their efforts on Saturday.

Preston Police have released CCTV footage of Michael Brooks from the morning he went missing on Sunday 14 January.

The video shows Michael leaving his flat on Lawson Street with a friend at about 1.05am wearing a black hoodie with camouflage print at the bottom, black skinny jeans and black trainers with white laces.

Michael’s friend, who was the last to see him on the night of his disappearance, describes how the pair make their way along Cross Street and through Winckley Square to Avenham Park and then into Miller Park. The friend then says he loses sight of Michael.

The last confirmed sighting of him is on CCTV on Glover’s Court at about 1.20am.

Police are especially keen to speak to two people who Michael’s friend says walked past him near the gazebo in the park at around the time Michael went missing at about 2am.

Officers, with the support of teams from the North West Police Underwater Search and Marine Unit, the Environment Agency, Coastguard, Lancashire Fire and Rescue and regional police helicopter units, have carried out a number of searches in the Riversway, Avenham and Fishergate Hill areas since Michael went missing.

Friends and family of Michael Brooks have been searching Avenham Park throughout the weekend.

Detective Inspector Graeme Simpson, of South CID, said: “We remain extremely concerned for Michael who has now been missing for more than a week.

“Officers, with the support of specialist teams from the region, have conducted searches across the area Michael was last seen and we remain hopeful of finding him.

“If you saw him, or know where he is, please contact us immediately. I particularly need to trace and speak to the two people described who may have walked past Michael and his friend at around the time he disappeared and I would urge them to come forward.

Hmmmm...something very suspicious about this I’d say!
I’d got it into my head that maybe they were drunk having been out in town clubbing, M had walked off home through the park and ended up in a body of water.
Wonder what they were doing going out at 1.05am?
I also wonder if the friend he was with was actually a friend IYGWIM and reading between the lines.

Michael Brooks went missing in the early hours of Sunday, January 14 and is believed to have made his way to Avenham Park and then into Miller Park. The last confirmed sighting of the 19-year-old former Preston’s College student is on CCTV on Glover’s Court at about 1:20am. Michael’s mum, who currently lives in Liverpool, says she believes her son’s love of nature led him to go to Avenham Park as he enjoys stargazing.

Michael moved to Preston with his mum and siblings when he was nine and grew up in the city and attended Moorbrook School for children with social and emotional difficulties in Fulwood. When he was 16 he moved to Preston’s College, where he studied IT, but left early and was looking for a job at the time of his disappearance.

Michael is described as white, around 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build with short dark hair. He speaks with a Liverpool accent and was last seen wearing black skinny jeans and a distinctive black hooded top with a camouflage pattern at the bottom.

So this lad and his friend are walking through the park and two people may have walked past and they became separated. So when did the friend raise the alarm? There must be something I am not getting here, surely the friend knows if the people walked past them or not?

There seem to be some very strange "friends" around. I do not feel this will have a happy ending somehow.

You’d think so wouldn’t you?
There is definitely something odd going on.

Just reading through this link again and the bit, about “social and emotional difficulties”, stands out to me as well as the fact that shortly before he disappeared, he’d dropped out of college.
Maybe his mental state was on a decline or maybe he just picked an argument with the wrong person. Social and emotional difficulties cover a broad range of issues so IDK

It sounds like a euphemism for autism, though obviously I could be wide of the mark.
