POLICE hunting for a missing musician have asked the driver of a blue 4x4 to call them.
Officers believe the man, who was seen walking dogs in Hesleden Dene, near Peterlee, County Durham, may be able to help in the search for Simon Jones.
The 35-year-old member of Goth heavy metal band Moriarti And The Sith has not been seen since he left his home in Hillcrest Place, Hesleden, on Sunday morning.
Mr Jones had been involved in a domestic argument on Friday and had spent the weekend performing at gigs in Cumbria.
Police say they are becoming increasingly worried for him.
A spokesman said the driver may have seen Mr Jones walking towards Castle Eden at about noon on Monday.
The spokesman said: "We believe Mr Jones is depressed and, as time goes on, we are becoming increasingly concerned for his wellbeing."
A search for Mr Jones was launched on Monday afternoon when he was reported missing by his wife, Carolyn.
Anyone with information is asked to call 0845 60 60 365.
