Update – Missing Person (John Taylor) – Kenilworth

Warwickshire Police have issued the following update this afternoon (Saturday 7 December 2024).

As we continue to try and find missing Kenilworth man John Taylor, we’d like to highlight the great work of our search and rescue teams.


Members of the public who have themselves been helping with the search over the last few days will have noticed we have been joined by colleagues from Warwickshire Search and Rescue and Northamptonshire Search and Rescue – they’re the ones in the red uniforms.


They are all volunteers who bring much expertise to searches for missing people. We and Mr Taylor’s family are very grateful for their support. Sadly Mr Taylor remains missing, but along with the search and rescue teams, we have specialist officers carrying out water searches today.

We continue to keep in touch with his family and in line with their wishes, remind people not to put themselves in danger trying to help with the search given the extreme weather warning.

Any sightings can be reported on 999. Any other information that may help can be reported on 101 or online using the Warwickshire Police website – link below:
