'I know people think I'm deluded, but I have hope'

A WOMAN whose husband has been missing since January has shared why she still has a lot of hope he'll be found.

Mark Kinson, 52, who was last seen for certain on Friday, January 31, at around 9.45pm at Uphill Road in Llanrumney, Cardiff, near his parents’ home, had struggled with his mental health, but his wife Angela Kinson said the pair had a “lovely” and “very normal” life and that him going missing is “so out of character”.

“It’s the not knowing, the ambiguous loss which is the worst part,” Angela told the Western Mail.

“We are conditioned to love, to love our children and love our families and friends. And we are conditioned to grieve. But we aren’t conditioned to deal someone close to us going missing. It’s the most difficult and emotional situation for all of us.

“Mark is loved very much. You never think something like this could ever happen in your life. It consumes us all every day.”

Mark, described as 5ft 7in, was wearing a dark grey or blue tracksuit on the evening he disappeared.

With her posters and appeals, Angela has recently turned her attention to St Mellons, Cefn Mably, Castleton and Marshfield, after new CCTV footage emerged in June, which the family hadn’t seen before.
