Desperate search ongoing for missing 19-year-old student

A desperate search has been launched a Euan Coulthard, 19-year-old student at St Mary's College, Durham, North-East England, who has been missing since early Thursday.

Euan was last seen leaving a night club, the Love shack, where he had gone to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday.

His phone has been off and he has not replied social media messages since he went missing.

A concerned friend first reported Euan missing after failing to make contact.

The teenager is described as 5ft 9in, of average build with light brown hair, which is cut short on the sides.

He was reportedly wearing black skinny jeans, a denim jacket and a beige patterned shirt when he was last seen.

Police said there is concern about the Euan's safety.

"We have serious concerns for Euan's welfare as there has been no trace of him since the early hours of this morning."

"He hasn't responded to any attempts to contact him and his phone has not been traced,” Inspector Dave Coxon said on Thursday.

About 100 Durham students are reportedly assisting the police in the search.
