Police have released CCTV footage showing Justin Henry’s last known movements as their murder investigation continues.
The 34-year-old was last seen buying food from a McDonald’s drive-thru on London Road, Croydon, on Sunday, October 15.
Two men, aged 28 and 29, have been charged in connection with the murder probe but Justin has not been found.
Detectives say they still need the public’s help in establishing what happened to Justin. Police hope releasing the footage will “jog someone’s memory”.
A spokesperson for Mr Henry’s family said: “Our family is devastated and want answers. Justin is a loving and happy person and wouldn’t hurt a fly.
“This is a plea to the public for information on where Justin is. This could be your son or loved one.
“Justin comes from a very close family who are desperate for answers.”
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Webb, of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “We hope that in releasing this footage it will jog someone’s memory and help us give Justin’s family the answers they are desperately waiting for.”
He added: “I would ask the public to look at this footage. Do you remember seeing this car? Do you remember seeing the driver? Did you see this car after it left McDonald’s? Mr Henry’s family are depending on your answers to these questions.”
Justin, who has links to the SE23 area, which includes Forest Hill and Honor Oak, was first reported missing to police on Monday, October 16.
He was last seen in person on the evening of Sunday, October 15, at his partner’s address in Brixton.
His family has not seen or heard from him since and says this is totally out of character.
Later that evening, at around 9.50pm, Justin was captured on CCTV buying food at the McDonald’s drive-thru on London Road, Croydon.
Police believe he drove from there to nearby Waddon New Road in Croydon where his car, a silver Mercedes E Class, remained for roughly two-and-a-half hours.
His car was later found on Monday, October 16, on Kingswood Drive, Dulwich, near the Kingswood Estate. Having viewed the CCTV footage, police said Justin’s family state that it was not him. `
On Wednesday, October 18, a 27-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the investigation on suspicion of kidnapping.
She has since been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in mid-January 2024.
Officers have conducted forensic examinations of an address in Croydon and Justin’s car, as well as extensive CCTV and phone inquiries.
However, detectives desperately need more information about Justin’s disappearance and the days leading up to him going missing.
