About me: Damien Nettles, Missing from Isle of Wight 1996
Damien Nettles has been missing since November 2, 1996. He went out with friends and visited East Cowes, before returning across the River Medina to Cowes on the western side of the Island. He was seen around town with his friend Chris until he and Chris decided to start to walk home. At around 10.30 p.m. he and Chris parted company at the corner of Northwood Park. It was later learned that Damien returned to the High St. area. He was reportedly asking acquaintances whether they had seen his sister Sarah.
He seemed to think she may be around and she had mentioned that she might come home from Portsmouth University. She did not, but he had it in his head she might be somewhere. He was seen by several people. He was caught on a security video inside Yorkie’s Chip Shop on Cowes High St. at approximately 11.35 to 11.40 p.m. He was surrounded by several men, only two have ever been identified. The Hampshire Constabulary have pictures of the chip shop video on their website in Damien’s casebook. Please click the following link Hampshire Constabulary: Casebook - Damien Nettles I would beg everyone to please take time to scrutinize these pictures.

*********************
Damien was then seen on the CCTV camera’s on the High St. We left the chip shop around 11.40 p.m. and was seen walking toward the Co-op, which is the bus stop. Several people reported seeing and speaking to him there. He apparently was thought to be acting in an odd manner, which may be attributed to have been drinking cider earlier in the evening. He left the bus stop and was again seen on the CCTV film walking back along the High St., past the entrance to the pontoon and the last sighting was around 12.02 a.m. under a camera by the across from the Indian Restaurant and right before Sun Hill. He was not seen anywhere on any camera along the High St. after that point. We watched the camera footage until around the 12.30 a.m. mark, but he was never picked up on the other CCTV camera’s. So after approaching the junction of Sun Hill, he was never seen again.
This is still an active case and I would like to appeal to the public to cast your minds back to that time and if you heard of any rumor or think you might know something, please just let us know. We want to know what happened to Damien and we cannot rest until we have some kind of closure.
