COPS are frantically searching for a soldier who vanished two weeks ago when he failed to return to his barracks after a Valentine’s night out.
Ryan Rudd was last seen in the early hours of February 15 in the market town of Selby, North Yorkshire.
But the 28-year-old never returned to his barracks in Catterick Garrison.
He went on a night out with two mates on Valentine’s, and CCTV shows him at The New Inn pub.
Since that night, his family, friends and colleagues haven’t seen or heard from him.
North Yorkshire Police are urgently searching for the missing soldier.
Anyone who may have seen him that night, or since, should contact cops “immediately”.
