Former ITV West newsreader, turned BBC local radio presenter and one time Look and Read presenter Peter Rowell has been reported missing.

He was last seen at 8:30 yesterday (Tuesday) morning but did not turn up for work., his car was found parked at Morrisons supermarket in Yate. It is thought he is depressed following the death of a close relative.

I hope to God that he is found safe and well.

In my opinion a great broadcaster. I hope he is found safe and well.

Didely Squit!
I too hope that Peter is found safe and well as this is terrible news - I grew up with him as a recogniseable face on HTV West and later the Westcountry Tonight.

Very relieving to hear.

It is nice to have some good news in the world for a change. So often these missing person stories end in tragedy.

Ah, excellent news! Ali Vowles was sweet after the report on Points West earlier, simply saying, "We want him back, we miss him"

This is getting horribly murky.
