Vigil held in memory of teenager found dead after going missing weeks before
Cole Cooper, 19, was last seen by his family on May 2 or 3, and was reported missing by them on May 9. He was seen on CCTV Sunday May 4 in Longcroft, Falkirk, at around 6am, and was also reported to have been seen by a witness on May 7, asking for a lift. On June 6, his body was found in a wooded area of Banknock, Falkirk, with police treating his death as 'unexplained'. A vigil was held in the grounds of Glenskirlie Hotel in Banknock on Sunday evening, where Mr Cooper was remembered by hundreds of people. Footage of the event was shared on a Facebook page which had been set up to trace Mr Cooper. His mother, Wendy Stewart, held up a flare at the memorial and comforted two young children, while older sibling Connor Cooper gave a tearful speech, and thanked people in the community who had helped with the search. Older brother Mr Cooper said: 'He is one of the most loving and caring boys there was.' He added: 'As a family we will continue to demand for answers and get justice for you.' Mr Cooper's aunt, Aimee Tennie, also gave a speech and said her nephew was 'the most handsome, caring, loving boy.' She said: 'This little boy wanted nothing more than to have a family of his own and to have his business thrive. 'We are absolutely broken as a family. It doesn't feel real. We don't want to say goodbye to you.' A huge search was launched involving air and marine units, and police scoured more than 2,000 hours of CCTV footage. Mr Cooper was last seen by family on either May 2 or 3 and he appeared on CCTV at about 6am on May 4 in Longcroft, where he tried but failed to access his father's home. He was last seen at about 8.45pm on May 7 on the A803 near Cumbernauld Road in Longcroft, when he asked a school friend for a lift, which he was not given. Police said that establishing Mr Cooper's movements between Sunday May 4 and Wednesday May 7 is a priority for officers. On Friday, Police Scotland said that Mr Cooper's body had been formally identified. Chief Inspector Alex Hatrick said: 'My thoughts are with Cole's family and friends at this time and officers will continue to offer them support. 'As our inquiries progress, we are ensuring the family is kept informed with all aspects of the investigation. 'A dedicated team of detectives is working to piece together Cole's movements leading up to his death. 'Again, I would urge people to think back and please contact police with any information, no matter how small it might seem.' Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident number 828 of Friday May 9.

Police Scotland are probing the grim discovery, which was made at around 10.45am at Prestwick Beach, in South Ayrshire, on Tuesday, June 10. And a warning was issued to Scots beauty spot visitors after mountain rescue teams were called out to three incidents in recent weeks - one of which was fatal. The body of student Marwan Saliaman Al Balushi was pulled from the water at the Devil's Pulpit, at Finnich Glen, near the bottom on Conic Hill in Stirlingshire. The 21-year-old Strathclyde University student, who was from Oman, died in the water on Wednesday, May 21, while at the location with friends. Just six days after the tragedy, on Tuesday, May 28, Lomond Mountain Rescue Team had to return. And the following day, a spokesperson warned of the deep pools with hazards not 'visible from the surface'. The spokesperson said: "Whilst we may have been quieter on social media, three of the recent callouts have been at Finnich Glen (The Devils Pulpit). "We understand the wish to visit this beautiful and interesting geological feature but would highlight that in addition to the parking/road traffic issues ~ there is no easy access to the gorge itself. "The main gully steps has suffered a further collapse and would not be recommended. In addition, the gorge edge has a number of areas that are loose and actually overhang the gorge. "Despite the recent dry spell leading to an apparently low water level, there are a number of deep (2m to 3m depth) pools that can contain entrapments hazards that are not visible from the surface. "If visiting, please consider the potential consequences of a slip, wear appropriate footwear and above all stay safe."
