A teenager missing from Oldham for eight days had been searching online for information about depression shortly before he disappeared, say his family. Dillon Duffy, 18, from the Chadderton area, went missing on June 18th.
His mum Donna Duffy said she had dropped him close to the Asda supermarket on Milne Street at around 8am and that he was supposed to go to his nearby workplace from there - but never showed up. He told his mum he was nipping into the supermarket first to get a drink.
Dillon is believed to have caught a train from Manchester Piccadilly at around 3.35pm that afternoon to Stoke. He then caught a train from there to London Euston, with his last known sighting at the station in the capital - around 200 miles from home.
Donna said today; "We have not heard anything. I keep contacting the police in London and they keep doing the same checks that police in Oldham have already done. They tell me that they are going to start doing a CCTV trail but I am not convinced they are.
"I am going down to Manchester Piccadilly to see if there is any signs as to if there was anything he was looking at their - to try and retrace his steps. There is still no sign of him spending any money from his bank account. We believe that he has probably got a little bit of cash on him.
"He has never gone missing before. From his Google history it seems like he's in a wrong place - he has searched on depression videos. We didin't know anything about that at the time. We didn't have any arguments at home there was nothing to indicate why he might want to go away.
"He had just been on holiday with his grandma and grandad a week before he disappeared to Tenerife to celebrate his grandma's 60th birthday. He has a holiday booked next week
