As police searches continue, the family of missing man Robert Rees-Hughes have described him as 'the most gentle and loving person'.
The 35-year-old from Easingwold, who police believe could be in Harrogate, has now been missing for 12 days.
Robert's family have shared the following photos of him and a statement:
"Robert is the most gentle and loving person, his best friend is his 5-year-old niece who he adores.
"It is very out of character for Robert to go missing and not contact his family or friends, with whom he is very close to.
"We really encourage anybody to reach out with information, however small."
Robert was last seen around 3.10pm on Saturday 29th November on Crabmill Lane in Easingwold.
He is described as white, 5ft 3in tall, medium build, and dark brown short receding hair.

He has an injury (described as a gash) to the top of his head.
Robert was last seen wearing a dark waterproof jacket, grey chino jeans, and walking boots.
Inspector Rory Sadler from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team said:
“We continue to work around the clock to find Robert who was last seen 12 days ago in Easingwold.
"Over the last week we have used specialist resources in and around the Helperby and Brafferton areas.
"We are appealing to members of the public who live between Boroughbridge, Easingwold and Thirsk to please check any video doorbell/CCTV footage from 3.30pm onwards on Saturday 29th November and to also check land and outbuildings.
“I would also urge anyone who is out walking in this area to remain vigilant.
“Robert’s family are understandably extremely concerned, and we are doing all that we can to support them at this difficult time as well as keep them updated on our daily efforts to find him”.
If you believe that you have seen Robert or have any information that could assist the search, call North Yorkshire Police on 101.
If you know his immediate whereabouts, please call 999.
