South Wales Police are asking for help to find Ricky Harris, last seen in Maes-y-Deri, Aberdare

Saturday, September 26, marks a poignant occasion – Ricky Harris’s 34th birthday. It’s a day that should be filled with joy and celebration, yet for his family it carries a heavy weight as they remember the last time Ricky was seen on CCTV at around 2:20pm on Saturday, November 18, 2023, in Maes-y-Deri, Aberdare.

Detective Chief Inspector Danielle Thorne said: “South Wales Police is deeply committed to uncovering the truth behind Ricky’s disappearance. Our dedicated team is actively pursuing a thorough and detailed investigation, driven by the hope of bringing Ricky back to his loved ones.

“Since the day he went missing, we have mobilised extensive resources, including our Specialist Search officers, dive teams, dog scent units, and support from the police helicopter and drone teams.

“Every sighting and piece of information from the public is treated with the utmost seriousness. We are continually reviewing new leads, ensuring that no stone is left unturned. Our officers have diligently examined numerous locations, including rivers, waterways, and dense vegetation, as we strive to explore all practical avenues.

“I want to assure the community that our investigation remains active and ongoing. A 41-year-old man from Mountain Ash was arrested on suspicion of preventing a lawful burial and perverting the course of justice in connection with Ricky’s disappearance and was later released on bail.

“We are unwavering in our commitment to locate Ricky, and we are in constant communication with his family, keeping them updated on every development in our search.

“As we remember Ricky’s birthday, we urge anyone with information – no matter how small – to come forward, quoting reference 2300394323. Your help could be crucial in bringing Ricky home. Let’s work together to bring light to this situation and support Ricky’s family in their time of need.”
