Mum’s desperate plea after son, 20, fell into River Wye and disappeared two days ago

THE “devastated” mum of a man who went missing after falling into a river has issued an urgent plea to find him.

Jake Jones entered the River Wye in Gloucestershire on Monday but did not resurface.

Police raced to Sedbury, in Chepstow, shortly after 6.35pm before the coastguard was called in.

Despite searches on foot and in the water since then the 20-year-old remains missing.

His mum Louise Jones is now appealing to anyone with any information to come forward.

She said: “Unfortunately Jake has still not been found.

“We are devastated and heartbroken and we are asking everyone to be vigilant and keep a look out for our boy.

“We would like to thank all the emergency services for their ongoing support.”

Police are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was on a boat or saw a boat during this time.
