A DISTRAUGHT Widnes family is still anxiously waiting for news of their missing dad.

Lee Turton, aged 37, disappeared 21 days ago, and despite press appeals, there have been no sightings.

His ex-wife, Julia, aged 30, said his two young children are missing him.

His brother, Elliott, aged 41, said: “If anyone is giving Lee shelter, please let us know.

“He may have asked you to keep quiet, but you need to tell someone as Lee needs help and his family is all desperately worried about him.

“Lee, just pick up the phone and let us know you are safe.”

Widnes born Lee, suffering from mental health problems, was staying with his brother and his wife, Anne, in Macclesfield, when he vanished.

His sister-in-law, Anne, aged 32, said: “We haven’t slept with worry. He’s never done anything like this before.”

His dad, Raymond, aged 56, lives in Avondale Drive and he has other relatives and friends in Widnes.

Lee was wearing a red T-shirt with the words ‘Brit’ in black and white letters on the front, blue cotton jogging pants and white trainers.

He is slim with closely shaven hair.
