Fresh Appeal in Kyle Vaughan Disappearance on 38th Birthday

Gwent Police have issued a fresh appeal for information on the day Kyle Vaughan would have turned 38. The Newbridge man was 24 when he was last seen on December 30, 2012, after his car was involved in a collision on the A467 between Crosskeys and Risca.

His silver Peugeot 306 was found damaged following a single-vehicle crash. Officers later confirmed that a missing persons inquiry had been escalated to a murder investigation.

Detectives have pursued hundreds of enquiries and made eight arrests in connection with the disappearance. Each person was released without charge.
