Andrew Capon from Grantham was 37yrs old when he went missing on 2 October 1998. He was staying at his caravan on Waterside Leisure Park in Ingoldmells, near Skegness for the night with a group of three work friends. They went out night clubbing and it is alleged the friends lost track of him towards the end of the night. Andrew is 6ft 2in of heavy build with blue eyes, blonde hair, with his middle finger missing from left hand, both ears pierced and tattoos on each arm. He has not been seen since and has not been in contact with his family, which is completely out of character. There has also not been any activity on his bank account. He has connections to Scotland and Germany. Despite extensive searches including sniffer dogs, no trace of him has been found. A note from Tessa Capon (daughter) “Lincolnshire Police did not take the initial missing report seriously. There were very significant time delays between releasing an appeal, collecting CCTV footage, searches and it was months before key persons of interest were questioned. It also took over a week before the lakes were searched and search dog deployed, thus losing the opportunity to obtain critical evidence. My family were not updated regularly on progression of the investigation, leaving long periods without correspondence. In my opinion, a lot more should have been done, especially as the early conclusion was that he had passed away. Now the case is with a cold case team, unless any new evidence comes forward, nothing will be done to re-evaluate the initial enquiry. I would like a new investigation into the mishandling and failings, including what steps can be put in place to prevent this happening again. I feel very let down and hurt that my father’s life and family were not considered and greatly perturbed it is now too late to offer any closure.” If you have any information, please contact Lincolnshire Police on 101.
