A new image has been released, depicting what one of ' longest might look like today, two decades after his disappearance.

James Nutley was only 25 when he disappeared from Tenby on October, 24 2004. A keen golfer, he was having a golfing weekend with friends in the Welsh coastal town at the time. After a night at the Prince of Wales pub, caught him returning to the Giltar Hotel at 11.57pm, according to WalesOnline.

However, the next day, James's driving licence and other cards were found on Tenby's South Beach. His family said that James had shown no signs of mental health problems, had recently secured his dream job as a demonstrator for Titleist, and was travelling around the country working in a sport he loved.

Now, after 20 years without any significant leads in the search for James, his parents have commissioned an age-progressed image of their beloved son, hoping that the public might recognise a now 45 year old James. They worked with forensic artist Tim Widden to create the image

Jeff Nutley, the father of missing James, spoke to WalesOnline last year, vowing never to abandon the search for his son. He said: "There is someone somewhere that knows what happened.", reports .

The distraught parents still hold onto hope that James is alive, with Jeff adding: "I think he's still about. We all still speak about James in the present, he's not in the past for us. There is no evidence to suggest he's dead. How did those cards get out of his wallet and lie on the beach like that? Were they put there deliberately?"

The couple continues their poignant ritual, stating: "We still go down to Tenby twice a year like we've done every year and we do the route we know he walked that night. The sea wall is high. He'd have had a hell of a job falling into the sea by accident. There was no evidence of him anywhere other than the wallet and cards."

At the time he went missing, James was described as a white male, 6'2" tall, with blue eyes and brown hair, last seen wearing a white top with blue sleeves and blue jeans. Ndella Senghore from Missing People urged: "James, if you are reading this, please get in touch. You can call us on 116 000 or email 116000@missingpeople.org.uk.
