The Merseyside Constabulary is asking dental professionals to check their patient records for any contact they may have had since 24 January 2002 with Lyndon Dean Nowell, born 23 March 1973.

Mr Nowell was last seen alive on 24 January 2002 and has not contacted anyone since that date. It is believed that he has been murdered. As part of the criminal case, the police will need to show that Mr Nowell is in fact dead. Part of the evidence will be to prove that he has neither been seen or registered/had any contact with any organisation, agency or public body.

Anyone who has had contact with Mr Nowell in the past ten years is requested to Claire.Scarisbrick@Merseyside.pnn.police.uk or call 0151 777 8622.
