Name: Paul Carter

Date of disappearance: April 21st, 2007

Age at time of disappearance: 22

Location: Portsmouth / Saint-Malo

Physical description: Paul is a Caucasian male, approximately 5ft 10in tall and of slim to medium build. He has short, dark hair and a tattoo of a snake on his right arm.

Last seen: Paul, who is from Birmingham, vanished during an overnight ferry crossing from Portsmouth to France. Paul was making the journey along with several work colleagues and had done so before. He did not have a cabin booked. The following morning when the ferry docked in the port of Saint-Malo, Paul was nowhere to be seen. The authorities feared he may have fallen overboard during the crossing, though such instances are extremely rare. Paul’s parents have subsequently made the crossing a number of times themselves and have handed out missing person posters all across Saint-Malo but no trace of him has ever been found.
