The family of Stephen Molloy have issued an appeal to help find him .
The 60-year-old, from Southport, was first reported missing at around 9.50pm on Thursday 4 June and was last seen in the Town Lane Kew area.
We continue to carry out inquiries to find him and would appeal to anyone with information to come forward.
The family said:
"The family are extremely distressed and concerned for Stephen’s safety and well-being. He has learning difficulties, possibly suffering with dementia and is very vulnerable.
"He will most certainly be feeling very disorientated and overwhelmed. Despite the extensive efforts of Merseyside Police, he remains missing.
"Stephen has very limited vocabulary and would find it very difficult to ask anyone for help.
"It will only be through a keen-eyed member of the public informing the police that they may have seen Stephen, that he will be found. Please, please report any possible sightings to Merseyside Police."
We believe that Stephen could still be in Southport, but it's also possible he travelled further afield most likely on foot or public transport.
We are appealing for anyone who has driven through the area, including taxi and delivery drivers, to check their dashcams to see if they captured an image of Stephen or anyone matching his description.
Stephen is described as around 6ft tall, of slim build and dark brown hair.
When last seen, he was wearing a black jumper, blue jeans and carrying a bright yellow bag. We do not believe he currently has the yellow bag with him.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Jones said: “Stephen's family are becoming increasingly concerned about his welfare and want him to get in touch to let them know he is safe.
"We have carried out significant enquiries and searches to locate Stephen or establish his whereabouts.
“He has links to Crosby, so it’s possible he may have travelled to this area of Sefton. We don’t believe he has any money, so if you have offered Stephen a lift or have helped him in any way then please let us know.
“We would also ask people to check their dashcams to see if Stephen is captured on their footage since he went missing on Thursday evening.
“Stephen is vulnerable and struggles to communicate. It’s possible that he’s taken shelter because he feels safe in dark places. I'd therefore ask anyone who has an outhouse or any form of shelter in a front or rear garden that could be accessible to please check.
"If you live on or near farmland it could also be possible that’s he’s sought shelter within your grounds.
“We will act on any information provided so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you see him or you think you may have any information that could assist our ongoing enquiries.”
If you see Stephen please call 999 so we can make sure he's safe.

@JohnSimpsonNews@keanerthanever1 Don’t let them get you down John. When people resort to that kind of abuse it’s a sure sign they don’t have a credible argument. Keep up the good work.
