Police issue appeal over mysterious case of man who disappeared more than 20 years ago
Andrew Dill went missing in 2003 and when friends and family tried to call him, their calls were declined.
Police have issued an appeal to help find a man in one of their longest-running missing person’s cases.
Andrew Dill, 38, went missing from Birmingham more than 20 years ago and this week marks the anniversary of his mysterious disappearance.
The Birmingham City fan lived by the waterside near the city centre and on April 28, 2003, he was dropped off at Hednesford Train Station by his then-girlfriend as he headed home towards New Street.
But a day later, after speaking to a friend on the phone, he was never heard from again and when relatives and friends tried to call him numerous times - their calls were declined.
Now, West Midlands Police have used age progression technology to create an image of Andrew as they hope that anyone who has information can come forward so that his family ‘can get the answers they deserve.’
PC Rob Jones said: “Andrew, who would be 61 now, was not the kind of person to just drop off the radar like this.
“He had a lot of family and friends who he had been in regular contact with, so going missing in this way would have been out of character.
“We’re hoping someone who knew Andrew back in the early 2000s might remember something about him and his life which could help us piece together what happened to him.”
Police say that Andrew also went by other names including using the surname, Dillon.
Officers are also urging anyone who remembers finding a Sky Blue Nokia 3310 with dark blue trim in the city centre in late April to early May 2003 to come forward.
In May 2003, Andrew’s father reported him missing and the police then launched their investigation.
When officers searched Andrew’s flat, they say nothing unusual was found, with the place still looking like he was due to return.
The canal near his flat was also searched, but nothing was found.
Later in 2003, an appeal for information about Andrew was put in the programme for a Birmingham City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers match.
Now, officers from our Missing Person Review Team have re-launched their appeal to find Andrew.
Anyone with any information, however insignificant, can call 0121 626 7003 to speak to the
