Desperate Search for Justice: Police Believe Missing Man Justin Henry Was Murdered
London detectives are now treating the case of Justin Henry’s disappearance as a possible murder. The 34-year-old was last captured on CCTV at a McDonald’s drive-thru on London Road, Croydon at about 9.50 pm, Sunday, October 15. His absence was reported the subsequent day, and his family, who claim his silence is highly unusual, haven’t received any communication from him.
Subsequent investigations indicate that after leaving McDonald’s, Mr. Henry might have driven to Waddon New Road where his silver Mercedes E Class was parked for approximately two and a half hours. This car was later located in Kingswood Drive, SE19 area, in the early hours of October 18. The driver’s identity at the time is uncertain due to a blurry CCTV image, but Justin’s family asserts it wasn’t him.
As reported by BBC News, Police have scrutinized an address in Croydon and Mr. Henry’s car and reviewed vast amounts of CCTV and phone records. However, they’re still searching for more details about his sudden vanishing. Mr. Henry’s last known in-person sighting was at his partner’s residence in Brixton on the evening of October 15.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Wood conveyed the gravity of the case to Mr. Henry’s family, expressing deep concern for Justin’s well-being. The combined factors of the lack of evidence confirming Justin’s safety, the strange circumstances of his disappearance, and certain forensic evidence have led authorities to suspect foul play.
Wood passionately appealed to the public for any potential leads. He stressed the significance of even seemingly minor details and urged anyone with information to step forward to potentially solve this harrowing mystery.
