FAMILY CONTINUE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AFTER FEBRUARY INCIDENT

- Lois McCarthy

IT HAS been over two months since 38-year-old Ashley Wilbraham disappeared while on a family trip to Borth, but his family are refusing to give up hope that he will be found.

Ashley was last seen at around 6.45pm on Sunday, February 23, at Ynyslas Beach.

Ashley's mother, Janine, said: "Ashley is a very happy person. He had a lot to look forward to - he was excited about going to the Crufts Dog Fair the following week, his daughter's 14th birthday was just around the corner, and we were planning a holiday to Ireland in May. He had even talked about learning to cook steak for his father.

"There was no indication of any mental health issues. Of course, he would get stressed from time to time, but it was nothing out of the ordinary.".

The Wilbraham family, from Rhayader, had travelled to Borth for their annual holiday in a rental property.

Janine said: "It was myself, Ashley, his two children, my other granddaughter and my sister Sandie.

"We arrived on Saturday, went out for a meal, and everything seemed normal. On Sunday, we decided to take the dogs for a walk, went down to the shops, and the man at the shop told Ashley they were showing the Liverpool game at the Cambrian Coast caravan park."

Ashley went to watch the game at 5pm with his 15-year-old son.
