Allan Bryant
Allan Bryant went missing in Glenrothes, Fife, seven years ago.
The then 23-year-old was last seen on CCTV leaving a nightclub in Caskiberran Road at around 2am on Sunday, 3 November 2013.
Hours earlier he had been at an engagement party at Leslie Golf Club, and had gone on to Styx nightclub at around midnight.
He left the club, which is around a mile from his home, at 2.02am. He hasn't been seen since. Extensive searches of the area, and appeals by family members, are yet to result in any new information.
Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Houliston of the Major Investigation Team said: "We remain committed to trying to get answers for Allan's family and any new details that we receive will be fully investigated.
"I would urge anyone who may hold information which could assist us, no matter how small it might seem, to report this as soon as possible."
He is described as being white, 5ft 6ins tall, medium build, with short brown hair, blue eyes and tattoos on both arms. When last seen, he was wearing a Voi t-shirt with three bands of colour – navy on the top, grey in the middle and white on the bottom, dark-coloured denim jeans and grey leather plimsolls.
