Police fear missing man murdered
Police are appealing for assistance and information on the whereabouts of a Cookstown man who went missing 5 years ago.
Daron McReynolds was last seen in November 2001 and despite extensive investigations he has never been found.
Due to the length of time he has been missing and the lack of any "routine life activity" police are now treating his disappearance as murder.
At the time of his disappearance, Mr McReynolds was known to drive a white Volkswagen car, registration number GUI 8536, which has also not been seen since.
Police have appealed to people in the motor salvage trade, who may remember scrapping the vehicle any time between late 2001 and early 2002, to get in touch with them.
Detective Superintendent Derek Williamson said: "It is vital that we get help from the public in trying to unravel this case.
"I am convinced there are people within the local community who know exactly what happened to Daron and for the sake of his family I would urge those people to come forward and assist us."
Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder and are currently being held for questioning at the serious crime unit in Antrim.
Police have asked for anyone with any information, which they feel could help them with their investigation, to contact them on 0845 600 800 or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
