-Police emergency.

0:00:060:00:09

Every two minutes, someone in Britain is reported missing.

0:00:140:00:18

You feel total panic.

0:00:200:00:23

Was there anything in the address

0:00:230:00:25

that shows any sort of planned absences, any note?

0:00:250:00:28

There are hundreds of different reasons

0:00:280:00:30

as to why people might be missing from home.

0:00:300:00:33

-THUNDERCLAP

-Concerns are growing for the welfare

0:00:330:00:35

of a missing Darlington pensioner.

0:00:350:00:38

-Archie!

-Losing time can be catastrophic.

0:00:380:00:41

A key for each investigation

0:00:420:00:44

is to piece together the missing person's last known movements.

0:00:440:00:48

Some crumb, a sighting. That's what we're after - proof of life.

0:00:480:00:52

What is going on in your head? Where are you going?

0:00:530:00:56

What are you going to go and do next?

0:00:560:00:58

Following Durham Police, cameras capture everyone's perspective,

0:00:590:01:04

minute by minute, as the cases unfold.

0:01:040:01:06

She saw the male at the cemetery.

0:01:060:01:08

He was seen leaving the cemetery and turning right.

0:01:080:01:11

For loved ones left at home, everything hangs in the balance.

0:01:140:01:18

You see people missing all the time, but you don't actually feel it

0:01:180:01:21

until it actually happens to somebody who's close.

0:01:210:01:24

It's the worst feeling in the world.

0:01:240:01:25

It doesn't matter how close you are to somebody, everybody has secrets.

0:01:260:01:30

I've found it. I've found him! I've just found him now!

0:01:310:01:35

I want to know where my son is. I need to be with him.

0:01:350:01:40

-RADIO:

-'BBC Tees.'

0:01:570:01:59

'Raining heavy overnight right across our region, it was.

0:01:590:02:02

'Lots of puddles on my way in,

0:02:020:02:04

'but it seems to be bright blue skies at the minute.

0:02:040:02:06

'Is it going to last?'

0:02:060:02:07

# Hey, hey, hey, hey

0:02:090:02:12

# Oo-ooh

0:02:130:02:16

# Whoa... #

0:02:160:02:19

..who can assist us with a search for a missing elderly person?

0:02:250:02:28

He's in his 80s.

0:02:330:02:35

..and he walks with a stick.

0:02:400:02:41

No, I'm at home now, at Dad's home,

0:02:560:02:58

with the police now, speaking to them, making enquiries.

0:02:580:03:02

No, they haven't found him yet, no.

0:03:030:03:05

The police are doing everything possible, believe me, they are.

0:03:060:03:09

When Archie's son, Peter, went to check

0:03:090:03:12

on his 82-year-old father as usual...

0:03:120:03:14

Well, he's never done anything like that before.

0:03:140:03:16

..he found the house empty.

0:03:160:03:18

I know you reported your dad missing

0:03:180:03:21

and my colleague has given us a picture, which we've got there.

0:03:210:03:24

-Is that the most recent picture of your dad?

-That I know of.

0:03:240:03:27

-Who are the other two people, do you know?

-Sister...

-Yeah.

0:03:290:03:32

-..and my mum. My mum's just died recently of Alzheimer's.

-Right.

0:03:320:03:37

-And my dad also has Alzheimer's.

-Right, OK.

0:03:370:03:40

And who are the other family members?

0:03:410:03:43

-I have three other brothers. I'm the oldest of four.

-Right, OK.

0:03:430:03:47

-Are they aware of any contact from your dad at all?

-No.

-OK, then.

0:03:490:03:53

Peter was the last person to see Archie over 30 hours ago,

0:03:550:04:00

but no-one knows precisely when he went missing.

0:04:000:04:04

The family are hurting and you've got to be mindful of emotions

0:04:050:04:09

that you're dealing with.

0:04:090:04:10

But at the same time,

0:04:100:04:12

I have got a short space of time to gather as much information as I can.

0:04:120:04:16

The Yellow Pages are open here at a certain page.

0:04:220:04:25

-There's nothing that sticks out?

-No.

-Right.

0:04:250:04:27

-You haven't seen anything untoward?

-No, no.

0:04:290:04:32

He's on medication now and social services come Monday to Friday,

0:04:340:04:37

-so I see he gets medication Saturdays and Sundays.

-Mm-hmm.

0:04:370:04:41

-Where did your dad leave his medication then?

-I'll show you.

0:04:410:04:44

-The date is Monday.

-Mm-hmm. So, he's last taken these on Tuesday.

0:04:500:04:57

-Tuesday.

-Right. How was he eating then? Was he eating well?

0:04:570:05:02

Well...that's why I came this morning

0:05:030:05:07

-to see what he needs shopping.

-Right.

0:05:070:05:09

At Darlington police station,

0:05:230:05:25

Inspector Peter Hoole takes charge of the investigation.

0:05:250:05:29

PCSO Angus from 1383.

0:05:300:05:33

A case like this one, we're looking at the vulnerability,

0:05:340:05:37

his age, the time that he's already been missing.

0:05:370:05:40

Everything about it says this is high risk and it's high risk now.

0:05:400:05:45

We left the hospital about five minutes ago. It was a negative.

0:05:460:05:50

The East End Club's also been checked on Neasham Road,

0:05:500:05:53

and negative.

0:05:530:05:54

Yeah, negative in Sainsbury's. Over.

0:05:540:05:57

-That nursing home his wife was in?

-It's a negative.

0:05:570:06:00

With no sign of Archie anywhere in the local area,

0:06:030:06:06

Sergeant Barry Evans calls a briefing.

0:06:060:06:09

Right, as you're already aware,

0:06:130:06:15

our missing from home is Archibald Campbell, 82 years of age.

0:06:150:06:18

The last confirmed sighting was 11am yesterday morning by his son.

0:06:180:06:24

Major concerns around the dementia that he suffers.

0:06:240:06:27

Diagnosed one year one year ago and takes donepezil.

0:06:270:06:31

Medication hasn't been taken this morning.

0:06:310:06:33

That's still standing so, without it,

0:06:330:06:35

it actually exaggerates the effect of his dementia, unfortunately.

0:06:350:06:39

He lost his partner only two months ago,

0:06:390:06:41

which has, obviously, really had a significant effect.

0:06:410:06:44

I want you to do a round of house to house with the neighbours,

0:06:440:06:46

try and gain any information we can

0:06:460:06:48

as regards has he got any previous places of interest,

0:06:480:06:51

beauty spots that him and wife, when she was alive,

0:06:510:06:53

used to attend, anything that's significant.

0:06:530:06:56

Right, just keep us informed. We'll leave it at that for now.

0:06:560:06:59

You're trying to work why has he gone missing.

0:07:040:07:07

Is it a physicality thing -

0:07:070:07:08

he's slipped, he's fallen, he's hurt himself -

0:07:080:07:10

and we need to find him because he needs our assistance medically?

0:07:100:07:13

Is it a case of he's taken a walk that's too far?

0:07:150:07:17

Is he bewildered and doesn't know what to do?

0:07:170:07:19

Or, alternatively, possibly, somebody's taken advantage

0:07:210:07:24

of his vulnerabilities because he's not quite aware of what's going on.

0:07:240:07:27

Darlington is a close-knit community

0:07:320:07:35

and having lived on the same street for over 50 years,

0:07:350:07:39

Archie is well-known to all his neighbours.

0:07:390:07:42

Mr Campbell, Archie Campbell, has gone missing.

0:07:460:07:48

He's been missing a couple of days now.

0:07:480:07:50

We are quite concerned about him.

0:07:500:07:52

-Well, his wife died just a couple of months ago.

-Right.

0:07:520:07:55

-When did you last see him?

-Two days ago.

0:07:550:07:58

-Where was it? Just in the street?

-Yeah, walking past here.

0:07:580:08:02

-How did he seem?

-I noticed a change in him over the...

0:08:020:08:05

That's since his wife's passed away, is it?

0:08:050:08:08

-He used to walk very sprightly, you know.

-Right.

0:08:080:08:10

-He's slowing down a bit.

-Slowing down and he's got a stick.

0:08:110:08:15

-He walks with a stick?

-Not all the time.

-Right.

0:08:150:08:18

So, he has it with him, doesn't always use it. Right.

0:08:180:08:21

'I've never wanted to see Archie as much. Is he OK?

0:08:270:08:30

'Are we going to find him? Are we going to find him alive?'

0:08:300:08:34

You see people missing all the time, but you don't actually feel it

0:08:340:08:37

until it actually happens to somebody who's close.

0:08:370:08:40

It's the worst feeling in the world. It's awful.

0:08:400:08:44

He loved painting.

0:08:490:08:50

He had his back room in his house upstairs as his painting room

0:08:500:08:53

and every time you visit, he'd take you up to show you his paintings.

0:08:530:08:56

He was very chatty.

0:09:010:09:02

If you'd see him, he'd say, "Now, Caz, you're looking well," you know.

0:09:040:09:10

And even if you didn't look well, he'd say you looked well, you know.

0:09:100:09:13

And he'd always say, "You don't look your age."

0:09:130:09:17

I remember my mum saying when he was a young man,

0:09:190:09:21

she said he was proper good-looking, everyone wanted to go out with him.

0:09:210:09:25

And he ended up marrying Pat.

0:09:270:09:29

Right, the other thing I was going to ask,

0:09:310:09:33

how was your dad in himself over the past week or two?

0:09:330:09:37

You've got to understand that my mum died just a few months ago.

0:09:370:09:40

-Yeah, I understand that, yeah.

-Since then...

0:09:400:09:43

-The first few weeks, my dad was confused, upset...

-Mm-hmm.

0:09:430:09:47

-..because of obvious things and his Alzheimer's.

-Yeah.

0:09:470:09:51

And he's calmed down. He realises what's happened, where at first,

0:09:510:09:54

he didn't quite realise what was going on.

0:09:540:09:56

Archie's wife, Pat, passed away just a few months ago...

0:10:010:10:04

..not long after their 60th wedding anniversary.

0:10:060:10:08

Ay, he missed her, without a doubt.

0:10:120:10:15

That's all he cared for was my mum.

0:10:170:10:18

-Is your mum buried in Darlington?

-She is.

0:10:200:10:23

-Which cemetery is she buried in?

-Carmel Road.

-Carmel Road.

-Yeah.

0:10:230:10:27

-Right, and is your mum's ashes there or is the actual...?

-Ashes.

-Ashes.

0:10:270:10:33

-But is there, like, a grave plot?

-No.

0:10:330:10:35

-RADIO BEEPS

-Two secs. Sorry, Peter.

0:10:350:10:37

Geoff Moore.

0:10:370:10:39

Geoff, are you free to speak or are you still with the son?

0:10:390:10:43

Yeah, just for your information,

0:10:430:10:45

Peter's mentioned about his mum's passing.

0:10:450:10:47

Her ashes are at Carmel Road cemetery.

0:10:470:10:49

-There's no particular plot.

-Yeah, that's brilliant, Geoff, thank you.

0:10:490:10:53

-Are you free to speak?

-Yeah, go on.

0:11:000:11:03

Yeah, Carmel Road. It's a big cemetery.

0:11:030:11:06

..a memory from a previous time, and that's what he locks onto.

0:11:120:11:15

-Any idea where the plot is or not?

-No, her ashes were scattered, mate.

0:11:170:11:20

There wasn't a plot so, unfortunately, it's huge.

0:11:200:11:23

-Going there now before it gets too dark.

-Cheers, mate.

0:11:250:11:28

With daylight fading fast and no other leads to go on,

0:11:330:11:38

the cemetery is now the last realistic chance

0:11:380:11:41

of finding Archie before nightfall.

0:11:410:11:44

'It can be one of the most pressured parts of the job,

0:11:550:11:58

'a high-risk missing case.'

0:11:580:12:00

You know every action you're taking and every lead you're following

0:12:000:12:04

could result in life or death.

0:12:040:12:05

You could find that person or be too late.

0:12:050:12:07

Archie idolised Pat.

0:12:130:12:15

They never really talked about each other,

0:12:160:12:18

but you could tell how close they were

0:12:180:12:20

cos they did everything together.

0:12:200:12:22

Everywhere Pat was, Archie was.

0:12:220:12:25

I don't think he ever really got to grips

0:12:270:12:30

with her having to go into a home.

0:12:300:12:31

Archie blamed Peter...

0:12:360:12:37

..for his mum going in the home.

0:12:420:12:44

But it wasn't Peter's fault, you know. She HAD to go in.

0:12:440:12:48

He used to just say,

0:12:490:12:51

"Pat shouldn't be in there, Pat should be at home with me."

0:12:510:12:54

He went to that home three times a day

0:12:550:12:57

to be with her - breakfast, dinner and tea, every day.

0:12:570:13:02

He went right up until Pat passed away.

0:13:060:13:08

He was heartbroken.

0:13:130:13:15

It absolutely devastated him.

0:13:150:13:18

I remember going to visit him and he was saying

0:13:180:13:20

how he doesn't like the loneliness and the quietness in his house.

0:13:200:13:24

He's lost his soulmate.

0:13:250:13:27

Yeah, that's all received.

0:13:350:13:37

Hello, sir. We're looking for a guy from Darlington.

0:13:480:13:50

His wife's ashes were scattered here about three months ago

0:13:500:13:52

in the memorial garden. An 82-year-old male has gone missing.

0:13:520:13:55

I didn't get a full sort of look at his face.

0:13:550:13:58

-It was, like, to the side, really.

-Yeah.

0:13:580:14:00

But whoever it was had whitish hair and that sort of clothing.

0:14:000:14:05

About half three today and he was walking sort of out the gates.

0:14:050:14:09

-What, he walked out the cemetery?

-Yeah.

0:14:090:14:11

-Which way was he walking?

-To the right.

0:14:110:14:14

I mean, it could have been anybody,

0:14:140:14:16

but it certainly looked like a gentleman that walked past.

0:14:160:14:19

Barry, it's Lee. An update from the cemetery.

0:14:200:14:23

At half past three today, he's seen a gentleman leave the cemetery.

0:14:230:14:26

He's quite sure it could possibly be our misper.

0:14:270:14:29

He can't confirm it for certain but it looked very much like him.

0:14:290:14:33

He's left the cemetery grounds, turning right.

0:14:330:14:36

So, that would take him down to the bridge area.

0:14:400:14:43

Right.

0:14:460:14:47

Whenever the bridge is mentioned in a missing from home inquiry,

0:14:480:14:51

I, because of historic involvement with it,

0:14:510:14:56

I always think worst-case scenario.

0:14:560:14:58

Can we confirm, is there anything in the address

0:14:580:15:00

that shows any sort of planned absences,

0:15:000:15:03

any notes, anything like that?

0:15:030:15:05

When somebody is at the latter stages of their life,

0:15:050:15:09

and they lose a lot of things all at once,

0:15:090:15:12

such as loved ones, independence,

0:15:120:15:14

these can all have an effect on somebody,

0:15:140:15:17

to the point where they feel suicide is an option for them.

0:15:170:15:20

If you turn right, there's a bridge just there.

0:15:230:15:26

I know I've gone through an awful lot of stuff, Pete,

0:15:400:15:42

and I appreciate your time. I know it's a difficult time for you.

0:15:420:15:45

Are you aware of any notes that's been left?

0:15:450:15:48

-There's nothing that sticks out?

-No.

-Right.

0:15:480:15:52

And would your dad talk to you if there was any other issues?

0:15:530:15:57

-Yeah, if there was something to be said, he would tell me.

-Right.

0:15:570:16:00

There's no sign of Archie at the bridge.

0:16:070:16:10

-Yeah, negative. Over.

-Received, thanks.

0:16:120:16:14

The only other thing was the loft hatch there.

0:16:270:16:29

How do you get access to that? Is there a ladder downstairs?

0:16:290:16:32

Cos that's one of the things I'll be asked to check.

0:16:340:16:36

-I know it sounds a bit strange, but...

-The likelihood of him...

0:16:360:16:39

-Uh-huh.

-..going downstairs, getting something up here to get up there,

0:16:390:16:44

for what reason, is nil.

0:16:440:16:46

I fully understand that. It's just one of the things...

0:16:460:16:48

There's nothing up there

0:16:480:16:50

because they put double rows of insulation up there.

0:16:500:16:52

-Right.

-Why on earth would he want to go there?

0:16:520:16:54

I've just been asked by my supervisor

0:16:540:16:56

-if I've checked the whole house.

-Yeah.

0:16:560:16:58

Is there anything you want to ask me at all, Peter?

0:17:020:17:04

I think we've just about covered everything, do you?

0:17:040:17:08

I'm doing my best I can.

0:17:090:17:11

I know it may seem silly questions but, again, like I say,

0:17:110:17:14

I'm just trying to find out as much information as I can.

0:17:140:17:16

With the trail gone cold, at Darlington police station...

0:17:200:17:24

So, house search.

0:17:240:17:26

..Inspector Peter Hoole is reviewing progress on the case.

0:17:260:17:30

-So, he's a bit of a loner.

-Mm-hmm.

-Doesn't particularly go anywhere.

0:17:300:17:34

There's nothing else to suggest any area

0:17:350:17:38

where he's actually going to be.

0:17:380:17:40

No, we don't have a direction at all.

0:17:400:17:43

We can't narrow it down and, to be fair,

0:17:430:17:45

Geoff has been talking quite in detail with the son.

0:17:450:17:47

-Right, we're not getting a lot of information from the house.

-No.

0:17:470:17:51

HE SIGHS

0:17:510:17:53

Hmm.

0:17:550:17:56

Right, will you do us a favour?

0:17:580:18:00

-Will you go to the address and speak to the son yourself?

-Yeah.

0:18:000:18:04

And satisfy yourself that we've got

0:18:040:18:07

everything that we possibly can from there,

0:18:070:18:10

cos it's...it's a little bit disjointed,

0:18:100:18:13

-what's coming from there. Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:18:130:18:16

I know my colleague's been asking you quite a few questions already.

0:18:560:18:59

OK.

0:19:030:19:05

Is it possible that he got up early this morning,

0:19:060:19:09

put the house in order and left?

0:19:090:19:11

Right, OK.

0:19:140:19:16

30-93-70-62.

0:19:160:19:18

-Go ahead.

-Yeah, some information from the address.

0:19:180:19:22

The curtains were not drawn.

0:19:220:19:26

The house was left as it would have been left from the Tuesday morning.

0:19:260:19:31

-Roger.

-Are we all right to pop back in the address, please?

-Sure.

0:19:310:19:35

-Do you want to come in with us as well?

-Yeah.

0:19:350:19:37

Police are keen to know how the curtains were left

0:19:370:19:41

to try and work out whether Archie left his house today or yesterday.

0:19:410:19:45

If it was yesterday,

0:19:470:19:49

this will be his second night out, exposed to the elements.

0:19:490:19:52

I'm going to quickly nip next door before it gets too late

0:19:540:19:56

-and speak to the neighbours.

-You already have.

0:19:560:19:58

I know, but I'll just go and ask them again,

0:19:580:20:00

just in case there's something we might have missed, OK.

0:20:000:20:03

One of the things we want to cover with the neighbours is, obviously,

0:20:030:20:05

because we found the curtains open this morning, did they notice...?

0:20:050:20:09

So, when I said earlier on,

0:20:160:20:18

"Was the house left as it would be on a morning?",

0:20:180:20:21

you said to me that the curtains were open, like he could have gone

0:20:210:20:24

on the Tuesday, but the curtains were closed?

0:20:240:20:26

Right, OK.

0:20:290:20:31

No problem, Peter. Thank you.

0:20:310:20:33

Speak to the neighbours and find out

0:20:340:20:36

if they noticed whether the curtains were closed

0:20:360:20:38

-and which nights they've noticed them closed.

-Yeah.

0:20:380:20:41

-Barry?

-Peter's account of how he found the house has changed.

0:20:430:20:47

When I got here, he was telling me that the house was in order,

0:20:470:20:50

that the curtains were open, and the like,

0:20:500:20:53

then, when he's heard me task Geoff go and do house to house

0:20:530:20:56

in relation to the state of the house overnight,

0:20:560:20:58

he's now saying that the curtains were closed again.

0:20:580:21:01

Roger. Um, I'm sure you know what I'm thinking about,

0:21:020:21:06

as regards to this one.

0:21:060:21:07

Is there anything at all that would suggest

0:21:070:21:10

this is anything other than a missing from home?

0:21:100:21:14

I'm starting to get a bit of a concern with this guy.

0:21:150:21:19

He doesn't want to be asked too many questions

0:21:190:21:21

and he's uncomfortable with our presence.

0:21:210:21:23

I don't where this is going... but there's something amiss.

0:21:230:21:27

When things don't add up, so you have one piece of information

0:21:300:21:34

that's conflicting with another,

0:21:340:21:36

then you start a reasonable, "Why? Why is there that conflict?"

0:21:360:21:39

You can't ignore it.

0:21:410:21:43

Most murder cases start off as a missing from home.

0:21:430:21:47

Um, we're going to have to go worst-case scenario.

0:21:470:21:51

Obviously, we've got to cover all eventualities.

0:21:510:21:55

I want his car searching and a search of his house.

0:21:550:22:00

Yeah, no problem.

0:22:030:22:04

-Um, Peter's asking about going home. It's getting late.

-Mm-hmm.

0:22:040:22:08

Um, we're going to facilitate that but, before we do,

0:22:080:22:11

we're going to search the house again.

0:22:110:22:13

We're just going to look for anything that stands out.

0:22:130:22:15

No problem at all.

0:22:150:22:16

'All of a sudden, now you're starting to think of the possibility

0:22:230:22:27

'that the person you're relying upon for a lot of information

0:22:270:22:30

'may be steering you off the truth'

0:22:300:22:32

or may have something to hide.

0:22:320:22:34

-Got a torch?

-There's my torch which is attached to a lanyard.

0:22:430:22:47

Happy there's no boards in the insulation?

0:23:000:23:03

Hang on, there's another bit of an apex here. Two secs.

0:23:030:23:06

All right.

0:23:100:23:11

PHONE RINGS

0:23:110:23:13

What's that ringing? Is it the house phone?

0:23:130:23:15

-Are you clear?

-Clear.

0:23:180:23:20

PHONE CONTINUES RINGING

0:23:230:23:26

PHONE CONTINUES RINGING

0:23:300:23:33

Hello? Hello?

0:23:360:23:39

PHONE GOES DEAD

0:23:390:23:41

Hello?

0:23:450:23:47

As word of Archie's disappearance spreads,

0:23:590:24:02

one of his neighbours, whose property is covered by home CCTV,

0:24:020:24:07

has come forward with potential new evidence.

0:24:070:24:11

-Yeah.

-There's a couple of things you've noticed.

-Yeah.

0:24:110:24:14

There was an elderly woman we saw show up and she came from...

0:24:140:24:18

She parked over here.

0:24:200:24:22

Is it anybody you recognise? Have you seen her before?

0:24:220:24:24

No, and I've seen that elderly gentleman all the time.

0:24:240:24:26

He's a bit of a wanderer.

0:24:260:24:28

He just does his own little circle around the neighbourhood.

0:24:280:24:31

-There she is right there.

-Is that her there?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:24:310:24:34

-That's 9.28.

-9.28.

0:24:340:24:36

It doesn't make any sense. You see her walking down the street

0:24:380:24:40

and she's walking and she walks past his house and then she stops

0:24:400:24:43

and turns her head and she looks as if something had stopped her

0:24:430:24:46

and got her attention. Do you see? She stops.

0:24:460:24:48

-She walks past, pauses, then goes in the drive, doesn't she?

-Yeah.

0:24:480:24:52

-Been there quite a while, hasn't she?

-Yeah, she stays around.

0:24:520:24:55

She hangs round the house for a bit.

0:24:550:24:57

But she was also looking around the bends as well.

0:24:570:24:59

It's like, "Yeah, she's looking for something."

0:24:590:25:01

-There she goes.

-There we go.

0:25:010:25:03

You see her and she's running, which I thought was very strange.

0:25:030:25:07

-There's the blue car.

-OK, pause it there.

0:25:090:25:12

Is this someone who you think, "Whose son is this?"

0:25:130:25:15

-That's now stopping outside the address. Do you know his son?

-Mm.

0:25:150:25:20

-He doesn't appear to go to the address, does he?

-No, he doesn't.

0:25:200:25:23

That's why I said, "If he's the son, shouldn't he have the key

0:25:230:25:26

"or access, especially if his father has dementia and stuff?"

0:25:260:25:28

He's not alone in the vehicle.

0:25:280:25:30

-I believe there's someone else there.

-Right.

0:25:300:25:32

He's just walked out the car and he's now stood in the door.

0:25:340:25:37

It's quite hard to see, but...

0:25:370:25:38

You can still see some movement round the doorway.

0:25:410:25:44

He's still outside at the house.

0:25:440:25:45

Moping around in front of the house, going through the bins and stuff?

0:25:480:25:51

He's leaving the house now.

0:25:520:25:54

You see where he's getting into the car - the passenger side.

0:25:560:26:00

Could be talking to somebody in the car.

0:26:000:26:02

If you're OK, on a disc for me, if you will,

0:26:020:26:04

yesterday's and today's on a disc.

0:26:040:26:07

Peter, I'm not trying to be difficult.

0:26:140:26:16

My sergeant said, "Secure the property and seize the keys."

0:26:160:26:19

Is that the only key for the back door,

0:26:190:26:21

-the one that's on the string?

-As far as I know.

-Right, OK, fine.

0:26:210:26:24

What's the latest there?

0:26:240:26:25

Paul and Mike are going to take him to his home address.

0:26:250:26:29

They'll be searching his home address

0:26:290:26:31

and his vehicle at that address

0:26:310:26:33

and they're being made aware of the additional sort of concerns.

0:26:330:26:36

-Straight down?

-Straight down, yeah.

0:26:460:26:48

I'll let you know before we get there.

0:26:480:26:51

Straight down to the junction at the end and turn right.

0:26:530:26:56

Left here, please.

0:27:000:27:01

-Does your dad ever come and stay with you?

-No, he didn't, no.

0:27:020:27:06

-My dad's very, very independent.

-Right.

0:27:060:27:08

Right, this next block of houses on your left is where I live,

0:27:100:27:13

so you can park anywhere on your left here. This'll do.

0:27:130:27:16

It's just inquiries, to be fair.

0:27:270:27:29

It's they way that we do for everyone. A different set of eyes

0:27:290:27:33

and we'll just look for clues and bits and bobs.

0:27:330:27:35

I've probably been a police officer for too long.

0:27:480:27:50

I'm desensitised to a lot of it.

0:27:500:27:54

'I think I'm like most cops of a certain age. I'm very cynical.'

0:27:590:28:02

I don't trust anybody, apart from my family...

0:28:020:28:05

..and colleagues.

0:28:060:28:08

I wouldn't suggest going up there. You can if you wish.

0:28:080:28:13

If you're the sole carer for a less abled person...

0:28:240:28:28

..a person with dementia,

0:28:320:28:33

you see the person that you loved more than anything else in the world

0:28:330:28:37

slowly declining and declining, getting worse and worse,

0:28:370:28:40

has the person ended their life?

0:28:400:28:42

Have they done it out of mercy?

0:28:420:28:44

The police are now in MY home, searching MY home.

0:28:440:28:48

They said it's procedure, it's what they need to do.

0:28:480:28:51

So, that's the state of affairs then, isn't it?

0:28:530:28:56

Where my dad is I do not know.

0:28:560:29:00

We're done with the house search, searched the house and the vehicle

0:29:070:29:11

and nothing obvious, nothing untoward.

0:29:110:29:14

I'm happy to leave the address.

0:29:160:29:19

-Like I say, it might seem a bit intrusive.

-Yeah.

0:29:210:29:24

I understand you have jobs to do.

0:29:240:29:26

-It's just to satisfy everything, you know.

-Yeah.

0:29:260:29:28

-Make sure that we've done the job right.

-Yeah.

0:29:280:29:30

Don't take it personally, don't take it the wrong way.

0:29:300:29:33

-I'm not at all.

-OK.

-OK.

0:29:330:29:34

-I honestly believe he's gone for a walk and he's fallen.

-Right.

0:29:350:29:39

-Is he quite unsteady on his feet?

-Yeah, very unsteady.

-OK.

0:29:390:29:43

He's had numerous falls.

0:29:430:29:44

Hello, sir, it's Peter Hoole. How are you doing?

0:29:470:29:50

It's 11 o'clock and I'm going to give you a quick update

0:29:520:29:55

on what we've found out so far.

0:29:550:29:57

That update is not a whole hell of a lot.

0:29:580:30:00

Um, the big thing is that there are some discrepancies

0:30:010:30:05

in what we've been told by the family member on scene

0:30:050:30:10

and what the neighbours are telling us,

0:30:100:30:13

regarding activity at the house.

0:30:130:30:16

Now, we're not jumping the gun

0:30:160:30:19

or sort of trying to paint a picture that doesn't need painting,

0:30:190:30:24

but we're sort of, like, widening our thought process at the minute

0:30:240:30:29

to make sure that we're not going to miss anything

0:30:290:30:32

that's staring us in the face.

0:30:320:30:35

With no hard evidence of Archie's whereabouts,

0:30:360:30:39

it's still possible that he's just lost or injured somewhere,

0:30:390:30:43

but it's now been 36 hours since he was last seen

0:30:430:30:47

and in that time, the distance he could have travelled is vast.

0:30:470:30:51

Can you let Tango 1 know, regarding our high-risk missing from home,

0:30:520:30:59

we'd like air support.

0:30:590:31:01

They will be dispatching an aircraft shortly.

0:31:050:31:08

NPAS from 2149.

0:31:510:31:54

Go ahead, 2149.

0:31:570:31:58

Yeah, I'm on the ground at the minute.

0:31:580:32:01

With the helicopter overhead,

0:32:010:32:04

specialist police search adviser Andy Reeves takes charge

0:32:040:32:08

of coordinating the search.

0:32:080:32:09

I've asked the helicopter to do this area here.

0:32:110:32:15

Can you just confirm you've checked the river?

0:33:180:33:21

'If you're looking at the case where dementia's involved,

0:33:260:33:28

'your search parameters can be quite wide.'

0:33:280:33:31

They can go to quite long distances

0:33:310:33:34

from their home address.

0:33:340:33:36

A recent case I dealt with, that person was found 13 miles away.

0:33:360:33:41

I was just wondering if it's worth us

0:33:410:33:43

going in on foot, just to clarify...

0:33:430:33:45

-I would think that's one of the things to do.

-Yeah.

0:33:450:33:48

The helicopter cameras, they have the infrared cameras,

0:33:480:33:51

so they're looking for heat sources.

0:33:510:33:53

A human would stand out in a cold field.

0:33:550:33:58

The difficulty you've got is, with their cameras,

0:33:590:34:02

you can't see through any heavy forest or wooded type areas.

0:34:020:34:07

Because of the ruralness of our county,

0:34:070:34:10

there is a lot of areas they cannot cover.

0:34:100:34:12

HELICOPTER WHIRRS

0:34:150:34:18

WHISTLE

0:34:200:34:22

With fears for Archie growing by the minute,

0:34:220:34:25

a group of volunteers from the local mountain rescue team

0:34:250:34:28

have been called in to join the search.

0:34:280:34:31

The information is that, in his younger days, he was a para,

0:34:330:34:36

so if he's suffering from a dementia that was showing, shall we say,

0:34:360:34:40

and he's reverted back to his days of thinking he's a para,

0:34:400:34:43

it isn't unusual for him to walk 20 miles.

0:34:430:34:46

We had a water release from the reservoir upstream on the Tees today

0:34:460:34:50

so, obviously, if he's gone waterborne,

0:34:500:34:52

that's going to cause us major problems.

0:34:520:34:54

What's the Skerne like as a river? Is it a little brook or is it a...?

0:34:540:34:58

It's quite fast-flowing in places.

0:34:580:34:59

What height would it be at the moment?

0:34:590:35:01

I imagine it will be quite high cos of all the rain we had yesterday.

0:35:010:35:04

I don't want anybody entering the water when it's dark.

0:35:040:35:07

Stay out the water, just do the banks. Stick to the path.

0:35:070:35:09

-No water, all right?

-Yeah.

-Right.

0:35:090:35:13

'It's awful. You never think that someone close would disappear.'

0:35:210:35:25

He was a good friend. He saw me through some bad times.

0:35:280:35:30

You don't forget them things, do you?

0:35:300:35:32

He used to come down here a lot, heck of a lot.

0:35:340:35:37

He liked all the old films from the '30, '40s, '50s and '60s.

0:35:370:35:40

He did, I think, about 30 odd or more years in the army,

0:35:420:35:45

so he was a hard man, no doubt about that.

0:35:450:35:49

Archie!

0:35:540:35:56

Archie, it's Mountain Rescue.

0:35:560:35:58

He used to go out walking every Sunday.

0:36:000:36:02

Archie was ridiculous, 20 miles every Sunday,

0:36:020:36:05

things like that, you know.

0:36:050:36:07

Archie!

0:36:090:36:10

Until he became a little ill,

0:36:130:36:14

and then he couldn't get around much, really.

0:36:140:36:18

Yeah.

0:36:210:36:22

I just remember seeing him looking frail, looking old, looking weak...

0:36:390:36:45

..struggling to walk.

0:36:480:36:49

Archie!

0:36:490:36:51

Argh!

0:36:520:36:54

Archie!

0:37:010:37:03

Maybe he was a bit too frail to be out walking on his own, maybe.

0:37:040:37:08

To take his walks away from him

0:37:090:37:11

would have been like just the end of it for him.

0:37:110:37:13

They've already took Pat away and if they told him

0:37:130:37:15

he couldn't go out for his walks would have been too sad for him.

0:37:150:37:19

HELICOPTER WHIRRS

0:37:220:37:25

Just to let you know what we've done.

0:37:300:37:32

The open areas look fairly clear and there's a lot of trees.

0:37:330:37:38

Just want you to know we have coast clear

0:37:380:37:40

and it's a big area but we've done the best we can,

0:37:400:37:43

but I can't guarantee that it's all been covered.

0:37:430:37:47

Yeah, that's all received, NPAS. Thank you for your help.

0:37:480:37:52

Appreciate the circumstances we've got at present.

0:37:520:37:54

We'll contact you in the morning, should we need you.

0:37:540:37:57

Yeah, good luck. I hope you find him.

0:37:580:38:02

It's now the early hours of the morning

0:38:090:38:11

and as the helicopter heads back to base,

0:38:110:38:14

police search adviser Andy Reeves

0:38:140:38:16

orders one final attempt to find Archie.

0:38:160:38:19

Inspector Reeves has stated

0:38:190:38:21

that we are going to try and work through the cemetery as best we can.

0:38:210:38:25

I appreciate it's not the easiest of tasks

0:38:250:38:28

and there is such a large area to cover.

0:38:280:38:30

Has it not been searched already by PCSOs?

0:38:300:38:32

It has. He wants it doing again.

0:38:320:38:34

To be honest, even if we go through again tonight,

0:38:340:38:36

I don't necessarily think we can guarantee it's been cleared

0:38:360:38:39

-but that's what he's asking us to do.

-OK.

0:38:390:38:41

HE SIGHS

0:38:470:38:49

Bloody hell! I don't want to shit myself here!

0:38:490:38:52

The chances of a person, male or female, elderly,

0:39:130:39:17

surviving overnight in cold conditions...it is very slim.

0:39:170:39:22

Yeah, I think it's so difficult cos it's dark.

0:39:260:39:28

I have lost my bearings as to exactly where I am.

0:39:280:39:30

I can see a couple of flashes of torches,

0:39:300:39:32

but there's no way this is going to be a thorough search.

0:39:320:39:35

-It's just too dark.

-Yeah, understood.

0:39:350:39:38

Um, what level of surety can you give us?

0:39:400:39:43

-I appreciate you're not going to give us 100.

-No.

0:39:430:39:46

No, I fully expect that. Just give us an idea roughly where we are.

0:39:460:39:50

We haven't been able to do it as per the guidance of two meters apart,

0:39:500:39:55

simply by the sheer size of it and the numbers we're restricted to.

0:39:550:39:58

Right, OK. Um, I'm going to stand you down.

0:39:580:40:02

It's quite a...difficult decision to make.

0:40:070:40:12

You understand the reasons and the whys, but it's very difficult.

0:40:120:40:16

You kind of always think, "What if we just look just over there?

0:40:160:40:20

"He might be there."

0:40:200:40:21

There's always a sort of "what if" scenario

0:40:210:40:24

and you kind of feel that you're giving up.

0:40:240:40:26

But you can't keep looking forever.

0:40:280:40:30

I want to just thank every one of you for stopping on,

0:40:320:40:35

helping out, and I know that we all do it when we need to, OK.

0:40:350:40:38

Thank you very much for your efforts this evening.

-'We are 11 minutes away from 7 now.

0:40:560:40:58

'A dry start, but rain spreading and becoming heavy at times,

0:41:000:41:03

'with highs today of 17 Celsius, 63 Fahrenheit.'

0:41:030:41:06

What I want to talk about is a high-risk missing from home

0:41:120:41:14

that was reported to ourselves around lunchtime yesterday.

0:41:140:41:18

Next morning, Superintendent Steve Chapman briefs officers,

0:41:200:41:24

ahead of day two of the investigation.

0:41:240:41:26

We believe, at this time, he was last seen

0:41:270:41:30

at around 11am on Tuesday by his son -

0:41:300:41:33

Peter Campbell, would that be right?

0:41:330:41:35

CID have been tasked with looking into the suspicions about the son.

0:41:370:41:40

Hi, is that Gill?

0:41:420:41:44

Gill, my name is Neil Stannard.

0:41:440:41:46

I'm a detective over at Darlington CID, at the police station.

0:41:460:41:49

Hi, could I speak to Peter Campbell, please?

0:41:490:41:51

It's Richard Garrett from Darlington CID.

0:41:510:41:53

I just wanted to speak to Peter with regards to Archie

0:41:530:41:58

and I was wanting to try and arrange to come and see Peter at an address,

0:41:580:42:03

at his home address, if that's where he's going.

0:42:030:42:05

I'd like to see him as soon as possible, please.

0:42:050:42:09

We need to establish the truth.

0:42:100:42:12

People display things in different ways but...

0:42:120:42:14

..a detective's instinct

0:42:160:42:18

on how people are displaying their emotions, their feelings,

0:42:180:42:22

or how they're reporting to us is crucial.

0:42:220:42:25

I will always consider a detective's views

0:42:270:42:30

when they've been to somebody's house, not just what they can give,

0:42:300:42:33

but how they feel about how that interaction went.

0:42:330:42:36

Control, delta, whiskey, radio check. Over.

0:42:500:42:54

While CID dig deeper into Peter's account,

0:42:560:43:00

the search on the ground is restarting,

0:43:000:43:03

this time with the benefit of daylight.

0:43:030:43:05

Archie!

0:43:070:43:09

Archie!

0:43:090:43:11

Archie!

0:43:110:43:12

After spending nearly an hour interviewing Archie's son, Peter,

0:43:160:43:20

the detectives are back to give their assessment.

0:43:200:43:24

He basically says at around nine o'clock yesterday,

0:43:260:43:31

that he's gone to the address.

0:43:310:43:33

He would normally go on a Wednesday

0:43:330:43:36

-to see what...to see if his dad wanted any shopping.

-Mm-hmm.

0:43:360:43:39

He sees that the curtains are closed and the door's locked,

0:43:390:43:43

goes into the house,

0:43:430:43:44

see that his dad's not there and the curtains are shut.

0:43:440:43:46

He opens the curtains, he then looks round the house and then comes out.

0:43:460:43:51

At around about 12 o'clock,

0:43:510:43:53

-he's gone back to his dad's home...

-Mm-hmm.

-..and dad's still not there.

0:43:530:43:59

-He's anxious and distressed.

-Mm.

0:43:590:44:01

So, I don't think I'd have any concerns about Peter

0:44:010:44:05

-and I don't think you have either, have you?

-No, nothing sinister.

0:44:050:44:10

I think he's just got his time wrong.

0:44:100:44:12

-Yeah, I think he's got his times wrong.

-He's tired.

0:44:120:44:15

And he's tired, cos he's had contact from three different police officers

0:44:150:44:19

-and he's tired by that.

-Mm-hmm.

0:44:190:44:22

-Family - engage with them regularly.

-Family's a close family.

0:44:230:44:28

All get on. There's no kind of family disputes.

0:44:280:44:31

-It was mentioned that they're all looking out for Dad.

-Mm-hmm.

0:44:310:44:34

There has never been a discussion about Archie going into a care home.

0:44:340:44:38

His dad's wish, basically, was, "I'm staying in this house until I die."

0:44:380:44:42

-Mm-hmm.

-But there was never a discussion from Peter saying to Dad,

0:44:420:44:46

"Do you not think it's time you went in a care home?"

0:44:460:44:49

I knew what dementia and Alzheimer's was all about,

0:45:010:45:04

but I never dreamt my dad would get it

0:45:040:45:08

after my mum...had come through it.

0:45:080:45:11

And, er...

0:45:120:45:14

Yeah, it's strange, it's a strange thing.

0:45:160:45:18

But...

0:45:200:45:22

He's always looked after himself,

0:45:240:45:26

he's always been a keen walker, like.

0:45:260:45:28

And up to that point, there's never been any, really, great concerns.

0:45:280:45:34

There is concerns as far as his memory's concerned,

0:45:360:45:39

but not as going missing.

0:45:390:45:42

He could always find his own way home, always has done.

0:45:420:45:45

Archie would say, "You'd never get me in a home."

0:45:540:45:56

I couldn't imagine the boys actually telling their dad what to do,

0:45:560:46:00

cos he was the dad of the family.

0:46:000:46:03

He was a strong man all his life.

0:46:050:46:07

It's hard to say that to someone, isn't it?

0:46:070:46:09

Especially when it's your dad.

0:46:110:46:12

This is a neighbour who's had the CCTV.

0:46:200:46:24

OK, so, there he is.

0:46:240:46:27

Sort of top of the screen, outside his house.

0:46:280:46:30

Stands there for a few minutes and then begins to wander over.

0:46:330:46:36

The detectives' instincts are confirmed by the neighbour's CCTV.

0:46:430:46:47

A thorough trawl has uncovered footage

0:46:480:46:50

showing Archie leaving his home alone and of his own accord.

0:46:500:46:54

Is he walking with a stick there?

0:46:540:46:56

-Can you see if he's walking with a stick?

-He is, he's got a stick.

0:46:560:46:59

He's got kind of, like, maybe bluey jeans,

0:46:590:47:02

a sort of green jumper, potentially.

0:47:020:47:06

It reveals that Archie left his home on Tuesday,

0:47:060:47:10

meaning this is now the third day he's been missing.

0:47:100:47:13

So, we've now got a time

0:47:140:47:17

that we can clearly see this guy leaving the house.

0:47:170:47:19

We need to be able to take a download of the CCTV

0:47:190:47:23

and allow it to be used from the media perspective.

0:47:230:47:25

It's imperative, if we can, to get a still from the CCTV,

0:47:250:47:29

so at least we can describe the clothing

0:47:290:47:31

we think he was wearing at the time.

0:47:310:47:32

From the media, if we're pushing something out,

0:47:320:47:35

we're going to get reports in from members of the public,

0:47:350:47:37

rightly so, but we need to be able to triage those quickly.

0:47:370:47:40

Absolutely, Paul, for example, "I know this man.

0:47:400:47:43

"It was this man and I seen him at 5pm."

0:47:430:47:46

That would be an action that I would want to prioritise

0:47:460:47:49

because they're saying they know him and it was him.

0:47:490:47:52

Let's get this out there.

0:47:520:47:54

How concerned are you about his welfare, in particular?

0:47:550:47:58

We're particularly concerned about Archie's welfare now.

0:47:580:48:01

It would really help us if the community could help

0:48:010:48:03

in looking for Archie.

0:48:030:48:05

We'd really urge them to check their back gardens, their sheds,

0:48:050:48:09

their outbuildings, even hedges and bushes, because what we do know

0:48:090:48:14

is that people who suffer from dementia often do go to these areas.

0:48:140:48:18

How are the family coping?

0:48:180:48:19

Understandably, they're upset about this

0:48:190:48:21

and they want to locate Archie

0:48:210:48:23

as quickly as possible, as we all do.

0:48:230:48:25

And that's the main objective of this.

0:48:250:48:27

We hope to find Archie fit and well and if we can all pull together -

0:48:270:48:30

the community, the family, the police -

0:48:300:48:32

hopefully, we'll have that resolution.

0:48:320:48:34

Durham Police, can I help?

0:48:580:48:59

Hello, um, I've just passed somebody on the road into Aldbrough St John.

0:48:590:49:06

Police emergency.

0:49:060:49:08

Hello, there's a man, Archie, that you've been looking for.

0:49:080:49:12

I've seen him walking back in the Burtree pub.

0:49:120:49:15

I don't even know if it was him. I saw an elderly bloke.

0:49:150:49:18

He was going at a fair old rate.

0:49:180:49:20

Did he look like the gentleman in the photo? Did you see?

0:49:200:49:22

-I only saw him from the back.

-Right.

0:49:220:49:24

Can you confirm it was him for me?

0:49:240:49:26

I couldn't, no, cos I don't know the man.

0:49:260:49:29

Might be nothing. I'm certain he walked past me in Horden yesterday.

0:49:300:49:34

-Towards Grange Road.

-Yesterday, I was in Boots.

0:49:340:49:37

-The football stadium.

-The railway line.

0:49:370:49:39

-Rugby club.

-Shakespeare Road.

-Airport.

0:49:390:49:41

Following the radio appeal, Durham Police received 23 new calls,

0:49:460:49:51

reporting potential sightings of Archie.

0:49:510:49:53

But Archie has still not been found.

0:50:070:50:09

There's obviously a cost involved,

0:50:120:50:14

in terms of the deploying of a helicopter.

0:50:140:50:16

It's £1,500 an hour.

0:50:190:50:21

If we're using a helicopter for extended hours of flying,

0:50:210:50:24

that is a lot of money that, ultimately,

0:50:240:50:26

the public are paying for.

0:50:260:50:28

We're going to have to return to base. We need fuel.

0:50:280:50:31

I don't know if there's any further search parameters.

0:50:310:50:34

At this moment, I'm awaiting instruction from the team.

0:50:340:50:36

Thank you very much for your assistance.

0:50:360:50:38

Archie has now been missing for nearly 53 hours,

0:50:510:50:54

without a single confirmed sighting.

0:50:540:50:57

The search will always continue while there's hope.

0:51:030:51:07

But...the longer it goes on,

0:51:090:51:13

the more, then, you know it's not going to be a positive outcome.

0:51:130:51:16

If I'm honest, at this point, it's a search for a body.

0:51:180:51:21

PHONE RINGS

0:51:420:51:44

-Afternoon, Durham Police.

-Good afternoon.

0:51:440:51:47

I drove on the bypass around about two, three o'clock on Tuesday,

0:51:470:51:51

and there was an old lad walking along the bypass

0:51:510:51:54

and he wasn't even facing the traffic.

0:51:540:51:56

He had a walking stick even.

0:51:580:51:59

And he looked staggered and a little bit confused.

0:52:020:52:05

Just around the bend where the railway line goes underneath.

0:52:070:52:10

That's where I saw him.

0:52:120:52:14

On Tuesday, I seen him walking along, do you know the bypass?

0:52:170:52:22

He didn't look very confident on his feet.

0:52:220:52:25

-A couple of months.

-Yeah, that's about right.

0:56:050:56:09

Yeah, yeah, you were bang on.

0:56:110:56:14

it would be him, without a doubt.

0:56:140:56:16

I was in the paras and you could fall off anything,

0:56:160:56:20

on your head - well, it wouldn't hurt MY head much.

0:56:200:56:23

THEY CHUCKLE

0:56:230:56:26

-We beat everybody at everything.

-Mm.

-Mm. Fighting, anything.

0:56:260:56:31

'In an ideal world, I'd want my dad back at home

0:56:380:56:40

'but it's obvious to everybody'

0:56:400:56:42

that that's never going to happen now.

0:56:420:56:45

So, you have to accept the facts and just move on.

0:56:450:56:48

He's accepted it now.

0:56:500:56:52

I've accepted it, the family has.

0:56:520:56:55

He just looks happier in himself.

0:56:560:56:58

More relaxed, more chilled out, yeah.

0:56:590:57:03

When you were missing,

0:57:050:57:07

they searched your house for you and they searched the attic.

0:57:070:57:10

For what?

0:57:100:57:11

Then they came to MY house and searched MY house

0:57:130:57:15

and searched MY attic.

0:57:150:57:17

-A search? For what?

-Looking for YOU!

-Oh, I see.

0:57:170:57:20

-Ah, dear.

-Jesus Christ!

0:57:240:57:27

THEY LAUGH
