A shadow fell over Plymouth’s Millbay Marina as authorities discovered a man’s body in the water. The discovery has brought a wave of grief, particularly for the family of Drew Perham, who had been reported missing.
Detective Superintendent James Dowler addressed the public, acknowledging the intense police activity that will continue in the area for the coming days. He described the investigation as moving at a “fast pace,” a testament to the urgency surrounding the case.
While formal identification is still underway, investigators are holding Drew Perham’s loved ones in their thoughts during this devastating time. The weight of uncertainty hangs heavy as they work to piece together the events leading to this tragic outcome.
Authorities are appealing to the public for assistance, specifically requesting anyone who was in the Millbay area between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM on Saturday, January 24th, to come forward. Even seemingly insignificant details could prove crucial to understanding what happened.
Superintendent Dowler urged restraint, asking the community to refrain from speculation, especially online. Premature conclusions can hinder the investigation and cause further pain to those already suffering.
Anyone with information, no matter how small, is encouraged to contact the police and share what they know. The pursuit of truth and justice for Drew Perham and his family remains the paramount focus.
