The heartbroken partner of a Fife man missing for two years says she is desperate for answers.
Sandy Clarke was last seen as he left Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
The 38-year-old had been receiving treatment for a head injury before leaving the hospital in the early hours of the morning, making his way along the town’s Hayfield Road.
There has been no trace of Mr Clarke since, despite an extensive police search and public appeal.
In a bid to keep his disappearance in the public eye, Kaylie Caulfield, Mr Clarke’s partner, told The Courier that she is no further forward in her search for answers two years on.
“We’ve heard absolutely nothing,” she said. “It’s hard.
“We just want to know that he is well or if not, that we can bring him home and have him put to rest.
“He’s not just vanished into thin air. The Major Investigation Team has taken over and they have been interviewing people over and over again.”
She added: “They are keeping us informed but they still don’t have anything new.”
A major missing person inquiry was launched by police when Mr Clarke disappeared in 2013.
Intensive searches have been conducted throughout Kirkcaldy and beyond, however there remains no clues as to Mr Clarke’s whereabouts.
Mr Clarke is described as 5ft 10in, with slim or average build, short slightly receding brown hair and brown/green eyes.
He has tattoos on both arms and a tattoo on his neck of a girl’s name.
Ms Caulfield, 29, said that she needed answers not only for herself but for Mr Clarke’s young daughter, Lexi-Jo, who is still a toddler.
“His daughter is so young but when she is older there will be a time when she needs her dad,” she added.
“I would just like him to get in touch to let us know that he is OK.
“If he doesn’t want to see us then that is fine, but all we want to do is be able to move on. We need closure.”
Police have always treated Mr Clarke’s case as one of a missing person, with no evidence of criminality having been found to date.
Anybody with information can call Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
Police Scotland’s Inspector Alan Seath, who is based in Kirkcaldy, said: “Our efforts to trace Sandy have been thorough, robust and are ongoing.”
