Summary

Steven Cooper’s car was found abandoned at Loch Laggan in the Highlands after he drove hundreds of miles from his home near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, on January 21st, 2008 - his 47th birthday. Extensive searches were carried out over a 50 square-mile area, using RAF helicopters, search dogs and mountain rescue teams but no trace of him has ever been found. His sister Trish Cooper tells The Missing about her brother’s “bizarre” disappearance, and her hope that he could be living a new life.
