THE family of a missing man took to one of the world’s biggest music festivals to spread the word of his disappearance.

Chris May’s sister, Charlene May, travelled 190 miles to Glastonbury on Sunday with her dad, Peter, and three friends, to hand out leaflets and T-shirts with her brother’s face on to some of the quarter of a million festival-goers.

Essex Police helped the family gain entry to the festival to walk around for ten hours leafleting.

She said: “We have to spread the word as far as we can.

“We thought, there’s so many thousands of people up there and it would be good to get the message to people from different areas.

“We got a load of leaflets with his face on and staff helped us put posters up in the bars.

“The people we were speaking to were all really supportive about it, but it was hard to keep stopping and talking about him.”

Before the festival, Chris’s family and friends delivered leaflets in Kelvedon, Braintree, Cressing, Felsted, Tiptree, Coggeshall, Marks Tey, Colchester and Ipswich.

A family friend who works for a Romford bus company has also tied banners with Chris’s picture on to his buses. Despite messages sent to the family on social media and an anonymous letter to Essex Police claiming Chris was killed in an assault, Miss May remains hopeful.

She said: “We have just got to keep hoping. These messages are people trying to stir it up.

“We can’t think any other way.

“It has been so long and we don’t want anyone to forget about him – we just want to hear he is OK.

“It feels a lot longer than a month – it is very difficult.

“We are getting a few hours sleep a night, but as soon as you are up in the morning, it’s nonstop.”

Chris, 28, of St Mary’s Road, Kelvedon, disappeared after visiting his dad in Mount Road, Coggeshall, on May 25.

His silver VW Golf was found abandoned near woodland in Troys Chase, Fairstead, two days later.
