WHEN Jordan Moray went missing the front door had been left unlocked, his PlayStatio­n was still running and his mobile phone was on charge.

That was a year ago and he hasn’t been seen since disappeari­ng from his home in Cwmbach, Aberdare.

To mark the anniversar­y, his distraught mum has made a desperate appeal for Jordan to make contact.

In an emotional appeal to her son, Debbie said: “It’s a year now since we last saw you Jordan. Although the days can be painful and lonely, I still hold on to hope that you will suddenly walk through that door.

“I live in hope each day that you will decide to come home to us.

“The days seem to be rolling into one as we speak, but know this Jordan, we continue to search the areas where we would expect you to be on a daily basis. We hope and pray this appeal reaches you.

“As a family we are going through so much heartache right now.

“But Jordan, no matter what has happened or what you may have been going through, your family are here to help. We would never be mad at you for doing what you had to do it’s never too late to pick up that phone and let us know you are safe.

“We love you deeply son and this appeal is for you to hopefully realise how much you are missed and wanted back in our lives.”

Debbie is also urging anybody with any informatio­n that may help the investigat­ion into his disappeara­nce to come forward.

Jordan, who would now be 33, hasn’t been seen by anybody who knows him since he was reported missing on August 2, 2019.

Following an appeal, police were able to place him in Bro Deg in his village on July 24, 2019, just over a week previously.

Jordan’s disappeara­nce was completely out of character, and it sparked immediate concern among family, friends and police.

A huge search followed, which involved specialist search teams and members of the community searching surroundin­g mountainsi­des and waterways for clues as to what may have happened to him.

The search effort even reached as far as the Brecon Beacons because of his love of the outdoors, especially that part of the world.

Officers have trawled through hours and hours of CCTV footage in the hope that cameras have somehow picked Jordan up on his travels, but have found nothing.

One year on, the police investigat­ion is continuing, but Jordan’s disappeara­nce remains unexplaine­d.

Jordan’s family share officers’ hopes that a renewed appeal may assist in new informatio­n coming to light to provide answers as to what may have happened

Debbie also asked the public to help in any way that they can

She added: “I would ask anybody else who may see this appeal to help by sharing Jordan’s photograph far and wide, listening for informatio­n, and telling the police anything which may help them.”

Detective Inspector Gareth Davies, said: “Jordan disappeare­d without a trace – we have no additional sightings and at the moment, no real idea or proof of what has happened to him. For that reason, we cannot rule anything out at all.

“We share hope with Jordan’s family that there is one piece of informatio­n that will give us the breakthrou­gh that we need.

“Anybody who thinks they may know something about his disappeara­nce, or who thinks they may have seen him, however insignific­ant it may seem, should come forward immediatel­y.

“What they know could help put an end to this family’s desperate situation.

“In addition, I would ask that if Jordan is out there that he makes contact. He doesn’t have to let people know where he is but just confirm that he is safe and well.”

Anyone with informatio­n should call 101 quoting reference 1900284205.
