A couple, Catherine and Jeff Nutley, have been visiting Tenby annually for the past 20 years in the hope of finding answers about their missing son, James Nutley. James disappeared on a golf trip in October 2004 at the age of 25. Despite extensive searches and investigations, the family is still no closer to uncovering the truth behind James’ disappearance, making him one of Wales’ longest missing persons cases.
Catherine and Jeff, now in their 70s, continue to keep James’ memory alive by returning to Tenby on his birthday and the anniversary of his disappearance. They hope that by sharing his story and revisiting the town, someone may remember something that could lead to answers. Despite their efforts, the passage of time has made it increasingly difficult to keep the search active.
In their quest for closure, the couple has faced many challenges over the years. False leads, unconfirmed sightings, and even a harrowing confession that turned out to be untrue have added to the emotional turmoil of not knowing what happened to their son. The family has tried to stay positive by working with organisations like Missing People, who created an age-progressed image of James to help keep his memory alive and potentially trigger new leads.
While the endless search for James persists, Catherine and Jeff remain determined to find him. They continue to hope that one day they will have the answers they have been longing for and that their son will not be forgotten. The unwavering determination and strength of the Nutley family serve as a reminder of the importance of never giving up hope in the face of unimaginable loss and uncertainty.
