Body found in search for teenager who went missing after rave in North Wales

A body has been found in the search for a teenager who went missing after attending a rave, police said.

Frantisek Morris, known as Frankie, was last seen walking in Pentir, near Bangor, in Gwynedd, North Wales, at about 1.20pm on Sunday, May 2.

The 18-year-old attended a party in Waunfawr, near Snowdonia National Park, the night before his disappearance.

North Wales Police had appealed for anyone who attended the rave to come forward.

A month later, now a force spokesman said a body had been found in dense woodland near Caerhun, on the outskirts of Bangor, on Thursday afternoon.

The coroner had been informed but no formal identification had taken place, police said.

A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Friday and Mr Morris’s family has been informed.

Detective Chief Inspector Lee Boycott said: “Our deepest, heartfelt sympathies go to Frankie’s family and friends at this very difficult time.”

Last month, officers investigating the case arrested a man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and a man and a woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, but they were later released and eliminated from the inquiry.
