Graham Wright’s Remains Found After He Went Missing for Weeks

Nineteen days after a Glasgow man was reported missing in Scotland, a stranger stumbled upon his remains along the shore of Loch Lomond. 

Police in Scotland announced on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that the human remains discovered in Rubha Dubh near Firkin Point on Saturday, Sept. 13, belong to Graham Wright, who was reported missing on Aug. 25.

Authorities are treating the death as “unexplained” and are urging anyone to come forward with information regarding the 38-year-old’s death.

Wright was last seen on Aug. 20 on Cumberland Street in Glasgow before he was reported missing five days later, although he may have been spotted in the same area on Sept. 5, Police Scotland noted.

“Our thoughts are with Graham’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time and they are being supported by specialist officers,” Police Scotland’s Detective Superintendent Peter Sharp said in a statement. “It is vital we get answers for them and extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish how his remains came to be on the shore of Loch Lomond.”

“A dedicated team of officers are carrying out investigations, including door-to-door enquiries and examining all available CCTV footage in the area,” Sharp continued, before explaining how the public can help.

The detective explained, “Please think back — do you remember seeing anything out of the ordinary whilst in the area? I am also keen to hear from anyone who was driving in the area, specifically on the A82, between Monday, [Sept. 1], and Saturday, [Sept. 13], as you may have dashcam footage that could help our investigation.”

In his plea, Sharp said any info, “no matter how small,” could be useful.

“We are also appealing for information from anyone who was onboard a boat, or any other vessel, or anyone who may have been using the water near to Firkin Point for any purpose,” he added. “If you have information or CCTV, or could help with our investigation please come forward.”

The public can send info or CCTV footage to detectives using this online portal or by contacting them “on either 101, Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting incident number 1400 of [Sept. 13].”
