Cole Cooper's mum left in 'limbo' four weeks after teenager's disappearance in Falkirk

A mum who’s teenage son disappeared four weeks ago after attending a party says her and her family have been left in “limbo”.

Cole Cooper was reported missing on May 9 and was last seen in the Longcroft area near Falkirk.

Specialist search teams, including a police helicopter, drones, and officers from the dive and marine unit, have joined the search for the 19-year-old.

Cole attended a house party in the Shanghai area of Denny in the early hours of May 4 before making his way to his dad’s home on Mayfield Drive in Longcroft.

CCTV footage shared with STV News shows Cole arriving at the property before leaving three minutes later.

A second video shows the teen running along a road in the Longcroft area, minutes from the home of his mum, Wendy Stewart, at around 6am.

Cole’s family believe this is the last concrete sighting of the missing teenager.

He asked a schoolfriend for a lift, who said there were no concerns about his welfare, but that he was not given a lift.

Officers confirmed they have spoken to a taxi driver who may have picked up Cole, which is considered a positive line of enquiry.

Officers have now visited more than 220 properties as part of door-to-door enquiries and are trawling through extensive public and private CCTV footage.

Cole’s mum said the family is stuck in “limbo” as they wait for the “facts” regarding Cole’s whereabouts.

She told STV News: “It is very frustrating and we feel like we are stuck in limbo.

“Just want to know where my son is and what happened. As a family we don’t need speculation we want facts.

“At the end of the day we are talking about a young person’s life. Anyone who thinks they have relevant information please do the right thing and come forward, even if it is anonymously.”
