Officers searching for a missing man in Bournemouth are appealing for help from the public to find him, and believe he could be on the Isle of Wight.
Mark Kieran Smith, aged 34, was reported missing at 12.14 on Sunday 16th May 2021 after last being seen at his family home on the evening of Monday 3 May 2021. Police investigating his disappearance believe that Mark could have travelled to the Island or nearby Portsmouth or Southampton.
He is described as white, around six feet tall and of slim build with dark black hair and a beard. He sometimes wears a nose ring and has tattoos on his legs. Mark was last seen wearing a light blue and purple raincoat and sandy-coloured ankle-high boots.
Inspector Tracy Santoni, of Dorset Police, said:
“While there is no indication to suggest Mark has come to any harm, he has not been seen for some time now and we are becoming concerned for his welfare.
“We understand Mark spent the night of Monday 3 May 2021 with a friend and since then has been sleeping on the streets. He may have his bicycle with him.
“We are keen to locate him to make sure he is all right and I would urge anyone with information as to his whereabouts to please contact us.
“I would also appeal directly to Mark if you see this – please get in touch with us or your family and let us know where you are as we just want to ensure you are safe and well.”

Not saying this applies to this individual, however, some people are not missing – they intentionally leave because they no longer wish to be around the people that have now reported them as missing.
always worth remembering – some do not want to be found and should have that decision respected.
