Cole Cooper, from Banknock in Falkirk was last seen over a week ago, in the early hours of Sunday, May 4.
The 19-year-old had been at a pub in Denny before going to a friend’s party around 3am. His family, now deeply concerned, have not heard from him since.
New footage has surfaced showing the teenager after he left the party. Doorbell cameras recorded Cole walking down Nisbet Drive in Denny at 04.59am.
He was then spotted on video arriving at his father’s house on Mayfield Drive in Longcroft, Bonnybridge at 05.49am, reports the Daily Record.
When his father didn’t answer, he departed approximately three minutes later – he was subsequently seen in doorbell footage jogging down Cumbernauld Road just before 6am.
In the video, Cole is seen looking over his shoulder as he runs down the road. This brief clip has raised concerns within his family that he was being pursued.
His aunt Aimee Tennie, 32, told the Record: “Our concerns grew after seeing the footage. He’s seen running down this street and looks spooked.
“We initially thought that he may be being chased. We’ve reviewed all the CCTV clips from the area and there doesn’t appear to be anyone following him.
“But we haven’t ruled it out.”
Data from Cole’s phone indicates it was last used in the early hours of Sunday, May 4.
He has not replied to any messages from friends or family on social media since.
Aimee lamented: “We are heartbroken and as the days go on we just want answers to where he could be.
“Cole has not spoken with any of his friends and has not used his bank card, phone, or social media from when he was last seen and heard from May 4.
“This is completely out of Cole’s character.
“He is one of the most caring, loving and generous boys. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and although he struggles with mental health himself, he is the first person to make sure you are okay.
“Our hearts are heavy, we are tired. It’s been 9 days now. We need Cole home.”
The boy was last spotted donning a grey hoodie, grey and orange Yeezy trainers, and black Nike joggers. Cole has connections to Glasgow, Paisley, and Cumbernauld, and his relatives urge anyone with information to step forward.
Police Scotland have confirmed to the Record that Cole is still registered as missing. Anyone with information is asked to contact officers on 101 quoting reference 0828-0905
