Urgent Appeal To Find Missing 33 Years Old Man From Havant :The disappearance of a loved one is a harrowing experience that leaves families, friends, and entire communities grappling with unanswered questions, fear, and concern. Right now, the town of Havant, along with surrounding areas in Hampshire, is united in a search for one of their own—Ashley Wingham, known affectionately by many as Ash.
Ashley, a 33-year-old man from Havant, was last seen on the evening of Friday, 11 April 2025, at The Phoenix Club in Waterlooville. Since that moment, he has not been in contact with his family or friends, and his sudden disappearance has sparked an urgent police appeal and widespread concern for his wellbeing.
Ashley Wingham is described as 6’2” tall, of medium to large build, with a beard and moustache. He has distinctive tattoos that may help identify him, including a notable tattoo on his throat and sleeve tattoos on both arms. When he was last seen, he was wearing a mint green t-shirt, shorts, white socks, and black Marvel-branded sliders—a casual and recognizable outfit.
Ash is believed to be driving a black Mazda, with the registration plate HN59 UWK. The vehicle may be a key lead in helping to trace his movements, and police are encouraging anyone who may have seen it in the days since his disappearance to come forward with information.
Ash has known connections across several towns in Hampshire, including Waterlooville, Gosport, Fareham, Havant, and Eastleigh. These areas are being closely monitored as part of the search, and residents are urged to stay vigilant and report any sightings of either Ash or his vehicle.
The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary have issued a public appeal, calling on anyone who may have seen Ash or knows of his whereabouts to urgently contact 101, quoting reference number 1661-13/04/25.
In situations like these, the role of the community cannot be overstated. Police are strongly encouraging people in Hampshire and surrounding regions to share Ashley’s photo and details across social media, in WhatsApp groups, and community forums. A single sighting, a brief encounter, or even dashcam footage from a passing driver could hold the clue needed to bring Ash home.
If you believe you have immediate information or sightings of Ashley Wingham, authorities are urging you to call 999 without delay.
Behind every missing person case is a network of loved ones whose lives are upended in an instant. Friends of Ash describe him as a warm, friendly, and well-known face within the community—someone with a great sense of humour and a deep love for music and local events.
His sudden disappearance is completely out of character, and those closest to him are desperately seeking answers. They’ve taken to social media to spread the word and raise awareness, hoping that someone, somewhere, might hold a crucial piece of information.
“We just want him home safe,” one family member said. “This isn’t like Ash. He wouldn’t just disappear like this without a word. If anyone has seen him or even thinks they might have, please contact the police. We’re begging you.”
As with all missing persons cases, police are applying the full extent of their law enforcement training to search for Ash. That includes coordinating with regional forces, using CCTV footage, mobile phone data analysis, and deploying community officers in areas of interest. In cases where a vehicle is involved, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) systems across Hampshire are used to try and track sightings of the black Mazda Ash may be driving.
The public’s role in providing real-time, local information often makes a vital difference. Authorities have praised the early response from the community and are encouraging people to continue spreading awareness while keeping safety and privacy considerations in mind.
Beyond the logistics and procedural aspects of a missing person case lies the emotional devastation felt by those left behind. Every passing hour brings more questions: Where is he? Is he safe? Has something happened to him?
Friends are combing through memories, photos, and past conversations, looking for anything that might provide a clue. Many have described feelings of helplessness, guilt, and fear, emotions common among those left waiting in limbo. The uncertainty is one of the hardest parts to bear.
In the words of a close friend, “We don’t know what’s going through Ash’s mind or what led to this. All we know is that he’s missed, he’s loved, and we’re doing everything we can to find him. Please help us.”
If you live in or near the areas of Havant, Waterlooville, Gosport, Fareham, or Eastleigh, please take a moment to:
- Check your CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage from the night of Friday 11 April and the following days.
- Look out for a black Mazda (HN59 UWK) parked in unusual places or seen driving through local roads.
- Share Ashley’s image and description on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Nextdoor—you never know who might recognize him.
- Speak to friends, co-workers, and neighbors in case they’ve seen or heard anything relevant
Ashley (Ash) Wingham is not just a name in a police report—he is a son, a brother, a friend, and a community member whose sudden absence has left a painful void. With every share, every phone call, every careful look at a parked car or passer-by, we move one step closer to bringing him home.
