The family of a father-of-four who mysteriously disappeared a decade ago have marched near where he was last seen in North-West London to publicize a £20,000 reward offered to solve the riddle.
Plasterer Raymond Scott, was 47 and lived in Hanselin Close, Stanmore when he went missing on November 16, 2001 after working on a house in Wealdstone.
He drove away from the house in an old white Ford Transit van, registration D346 DPR, which had a roof rack on top.
He was reported missing to police on Friday November 23 by family members who had become increasingly concerned when they had not seen or heard from him.
His van was later found on November 30 in a service road behind shops in Field End Road, Eastcote - detectives believe it may have been there since November 16.
Ray may have been doing, or been scheduled to do, a garden clearing job at the time of his disappearance and we would particularly like to speak to anybody in the surrounding areas of Harrow and Hillingdon who may have employed him to carry out some form of clearing or hedge-trimming work.
He is described as 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build, with dark, brushed-back, collar-length hair and a thin moustache.
He was wearing square-looking glasses and has a tattoo on his left hand saying 'Ray'.
When he was last seen, he was wearing trousers and a t-shirt covered in plaster.
There does not appear to be any apparent reason for Raymond to have gone missing. It was extremely out of character and he has never done this before. He is married and has four children who are now in their 20s.
Detective Inspector Andy Manning of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command said: “The investigation into the disappearance of Ray continues and his family and friends remain desperate, 10 years on, to know what has happened to him.
“Despite all our enquiries and extensive searches taking place, we have found no trace of Ray and we want to hear from anyone who has information about his disappearance or anyone who knew him around the time that he went missing.
“Any information, however small, would be relevant to the enquiry and may be the key to giving his family the answers they want.”
If anyone has information regarding Raymond they are asked to contact the incident room on 020 8358 0300.
If you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
On January 17, 2002 a 43-year old man was arrested at an address in Harrow in connection with the inquiry. He was released with no further action.
