Missing Latics fan

Hello all,
I hope I can post here this link about a vulnerable bloke from Wigan who has gone missing:
[url=https://x.com/gmpolice/status/1898035782461387117]
Somebody may already have beaten me to it (although I can't see anything to suggest they have), and there might already have been loads of coverage about this elsewhere - likely seeing as search parties of Latics fans have been out looking for him this weekend - but I got collared on the canal today by a bloke helping in the search, and it's just occurred to me that here might be a good place to reach people in other parts of Wigan who might have seen him.
Here's hoping he's found safe and well, and soon!
Update: Thanks for making the link for me, Mollie M, but I remembered (eventually, doh!) that (since Elon starting mucking around with Twitter) the link would be useless to anyone who isn't signed in to a Twitter account.
So here's a picture and description that should be accessible to anyone:
https://www.wigantoday.net/news/emergency-incident/family-of-missing-latics-fan-darren-orme-and-police-thank-wigan-community-for-their-help-5024479
OK, so it looks like the search for Darren is getting lots of coverage in local media, but if my posts on here reach even one person who's not aware of it but in a position to keep an eye out for him, then that's good enough for me!
