Partner of Fife dad who disappeared on camping trip begs 'my boys need their daddy'

I am a bit mystified about the sighting that night which is hard to explain. If it was him then maybe he thought he would pop back to a petrol station he thought he'd seen to get some cigarettes or a drink but that seems really unlikely. Similarly in the morning he might have been popping out to get some coffee or food for his camp mates but again that seems unlikely to go on foot in such an area.

My only other thoughts are maybe he was drunk or doing some drugs or had a psychotic episode and went off in delirium. Any of these scenarios would seem to lead to an accidental fall or drowning in the loch.

The other least likely scenario is that someone did harm to him but that seems very unlikely.

The searcher said: "There was four teams, alpha to delta, of about 15 people who walked in linear lines searching in rather difficult terrain - lots of march and bracken.

"Everyone had high hopes and tried to keep the moral despite being missing for two weeks.

"Most of the turn out were from High Valley field but there were some volunteers from Stirling, Dunfermline and Rosyth."

The search was also assisted with a sonar team from England who searched the Loch including using a drone.

Hundreds joined the search for the missing man over the weekend and Ms Airzee said that another search of the water would take place “over the next few days by the police”.

Writing on the Please Help to Find Reece Facebook group, she said: “The response to the weekend search for Reece was nothing other than heartwarming.

“It makes me realise even more how much Reece is loved.

“Since Reece disappeared we have had over a thousand people come search for him and we still don’t have one clue where he is. Nothing…. Reece could never have covered on foot what we have. Where can he be….. I’m begging for the public to help.

“Another search of the water is taking place over the next few days by the police – Reece doesn’t like water but I’m grateful for anything at this stage.”

'Something bad has happened to my missing partner'

Father-of-two Reece Rodger disappeared nearly a month ago during a camping trip in Perthshire.
www.bbc.co.uk

Another search for Reece taking place on Sunday, this weekend marks 4 weeks since Reece went missing :( His partner Paula thinks he may have tried to make his way home, but it would have been pitch black at 11.30pm in the countryside & around a 24 hour walk back to fife a distance of between 70-80 miles, unless he tried to hitch a lift?

His partner Paula Airzee told BBC Scotland she has found herself wondering if there might be some third party involvement in his disappearance.
Police said they had an open mind but it remained a missing person inquiry.
Paula believes he may have tried to return home that night but has come to harm.
"If he had suffered an accident, like fell and hurt himself he would have been found by now," she said.
"The only other thing I can think of is third party involvement - someone has done something to him."
