A Familiar Face Gone Missing

This isn’t the first time the community has rallied behind a missing persons case. Shenley residents are known for keeping a close eye on their neighbours and supporting each other in times of need.
Gary’s friends describe him as kind and soft-spoken. His disappearance has left loved ones anxious and hoping for a swift and safe return.
