00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Hi, and welcome back to The Unseen Podcast, a podcast

2
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>dedicated to missing people, unresolved cases, and UK true crime.

3
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Today's day eight of twelve days of missing person episodes

4
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>throughout December. This episode is about the disappearance of fifty

5
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>two year old Paul Parvin from his home in North

6
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Yorkshire in twenty eighteen. Since he left his home, he

7
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 1>has not been seen. This episode is about a missing person,

8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>so there are no descriptions of violence, but listened discretion

9
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>is always advised. Cessa is a small village located around

10
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>four miles away from the larger market town of Thirsk.

11
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>The village is rural and is surrounded by fields and greenery,

12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>many of which house large and family farms. It's a

13
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>picturesque village with what appears to be a tight knit

14
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>community of people who get involved with village life and events.

15
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>North Yorkshire has frequently been listed as one of the

16
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>best places to live in the UK, and so many

17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>people lived there for the peaceful way of life. Fifty

18
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>two year old Paul Parvin was one of those people

19
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>who owned a farm in the village and worked as

20
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a livestock farmer. On April thirtieth twenty eighteen. Paul was

21
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>at his home on the farm in the village as usual.

22
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>There has been little information published about Paul's usual routine

23
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>or any particular jobs that he had to do on

24
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the farm. What was known was that he left his

25
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 1>home at around nine pm that evening. This may or

26
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 1>may not have been out of character for him. It

27
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 1>was clear though, that when hours had passed and he

28
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>still had not returned, this was unusual behavior. Paul had

29
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>clearly not just disappeared without coming home before, and so

30
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>this was a concern. When he still hadn't returned after

31
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>several hours and days, this was an even larger concern. Now.

32
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 1>The Yorkshire Police became involved and Paul was officially listed

33
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 1>as a missing person. A description of him, along with

34
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>what he was wearing that day, was issued to the public.

35
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>He was described as white, five feet eleven inches tall,

36
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>with sharp, black wavy hair that was graying and a

37
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>sharp beard. When he disappeared, he was thought to be

38
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 1>wearing a black baseball cap, red and black checked lumberjack shirt,

39
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>black jeans, and sharp black boots, as well as a

40
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>three quarter length olive green coat with a fleece lining

41
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>and hood. It's not thought that he took anything else

42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>with him when he left his home that night. The

43
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>rural nature of the village meant that there was an

44
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>awful lot of ground to cover in the search for him,

45
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that he left his home at night

46
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 1>was also an issue. There were many areas that Paul

47
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 1>could have become lost or stuck around the village, and

48
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 1>so the police asked for assistance from several other agencies,

49
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 1>including five mountain rescue teams. They also drafted in help

50
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>from volunteers from the local area to help search for him.

51
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of land to cover, and the

52
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team later said that they searched around

53
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 1>thirteen kilometers of the river swale and many acres of

54
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 1>woodland around Paul's farm in the hope that they would

55
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>find him. In many cases of missing people, the person

56
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>does get found and is unharmed. However, when someone goes

57
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>missing at night in a rural area, there's a lot

58
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>of concern about their welfare. When Paul wasn't found straight away,

59
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>North Yorkshire Police explained that they were becoming increasingly worried

60
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and appealed for anyone to contact them if they thought

61
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they'd seen him. A police spokesperson said police have carried

62
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>out extensive inquiries to find Paul, including searches with the

63
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>volunteer search and rescue teams and using air support from

64
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the National Police Air Service, but Paul remains missing. Officers

65
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>are asking members of the public to report any sightings

66
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>of Paul and to contact them if they've seen him.

67
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Since Monday evening, as the search continued, there were reports

68
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that Paul may have traveled to the city of York,

69
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>which is around twenty one miles away from his home.

70
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>It's unclear why it was thought that he may have

71
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 1>traveled there or what information led them to believe this.

72
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 1>This information, however, changed and it was later reported that

73
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Paul may have gone to Harrogut, which is close to York,

74
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>about twenty two miles away. Residents of both York and

75
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Harrow were asked to be on the lookout for Paul

76
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and to report any sightings of him to the police.

77
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Since twenty eighteen, when he disappeared, there has been little

78
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>more published about Paul's disappearance, and it doesn't seem as

79
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>though there's been much public progress. He seems to have

80
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>just left his home and vanished without a trace and

81
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 1>this is always so devastating and confusing for families. Paul's

82
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>family still does not know where he is or if

83
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 1>he's safe, and they deserve to find out what happened

84
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>and where he is. Inspector Jeff Crocker of North Yorkshire

85
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Police said, Paul, the police and your family are very

86
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 1>concerned about you and want to know that you're safe.

87
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>If you read or hear this appeal, please contact your family,

88
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>friends or the police and let us know that you're okay.
