It’s been a year since Cardiff resident Mark Kinson, 53, mysteriously disappeared, and his family is still desperate for answers. Last seen on January 31, 2025, Mark vanished without a trace, leaving his loved ones in anguish. South Wales Police have carried out extensive investigations but still describe the situation as “unexplained.”
Mark was last spotted on Uphill Road, Llanrumney, at around 9.45pm before heading towards Captains Walk at 10pm. His sudden disappearance is baffling, and officials have renewed their appeal for information.
His wife Angela shares the emotional turmoil of ambiguous loss, describing their life together as “lovely” and his disappearance as highly uncharacteristic. “We are conditioned to love and grieve, but not to handle someone close to us just vanishing,” she says. This undetermined absence weighs heavily on the hearts of all who knew him.
Detective Inspector Daniel Todd empathises with the family’s distress and continues to urge anyone with information to step forward: “We haven’t given up hope for answers. Any significant new information will be vigorously pursued.”
The police have left no stone unturned in their pursuit, examining phone data, CCTV footage, and scouring local areas. Mark, about 5ft 7ins tall and wearing a dark grey/blue tracksuit the day he disappeared, remains on everyone’s minds.
