West Midlands Police has launched a fresh appeal over the disappearance of a Birmingham man 14 years ago. Frank Whitehurst vanished without a trace in October 2010.

The 63-year-old, from Moseley, Birmingham, would be aged 77 now, left his care home and did not return. He was last seen wearing grey jogging bottoms and a dark blue sweatshirt.

He was also known to smoke. Frank was approximately 6ft 2ins tall, medium build, with grey hair and brown eyes. He was known to use an alias of Kenneth Horse.

Police said there were no known issues or reasons for him going missing. He would often live on the streets of his own accord and would present as homeless despite having accommodation.

Sadly, there has been no trace of Frank, but police are hoping their renewed appeal will jog people's memories who lived in the area at the time. If you remember any piece of detail, no matter how small, contact the police's Missing Persons Investigation Unit on 0121 626 7003.
