"Anyone with information that could aid our enquiries should contact police via our website or by calling 101, quoting reference C067822."
His partner Nia Evans posted an update on Tuesday, saying his car - a white Ford Fiesta - had been found in Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd, near Ruthin.
She has asked people to help with the search in the area. Police and other rescue services always urge people to not put themselves at risk in any search for missing people, reports North Wales Live.
Nia said: "Absolutely heartbroken to say that Ed is still missing. A few people have said if there is anything they can do to help, to ask.
"So I'm asking anyone and everyone who is free today (Tuesday 13/5/25) can you please join in the search and help bring Ed home to his family, we desperately need him back home so we can tell him just how loved he is.
"His car was found yesterday by me in Llanbedr DC not far from the Griffin pub. He could be anywhere from this location.

"We don't know if he has gone up Moel Famau/Moel Arthur way and tried to make his way over to Penycloddiau along the path or if he has gone off route.
"He told me he doesn't particularly like Moel Famau as it's too busy, so I am leaning towards him being closer to Penycloddiau (his favourite place to go). But he could be anywhere."

A video taken from the police, showed the force vehicle striking a car driven by disqualified driver Nathan Raymond Williams, bringing the chase to a halt. He was then arrested. 29-year-old Nathan Raymond Williams of Tan y Bryn Road, Maesgeirchen, Bangor appeared before Caernarfon Court last week charged with driving offences including dangerous driving and driving whilst disqualified. A North Wales Police statement said: "The sentencing follows an incident in Bangor just before 5pm on Sunday, January 12 th when an officer from the Roads Crime Unit was on mobile patrol on Garth Road when his attention was drawn to a vehicle travelling at speed along Glynne Road. (Image: North Wales Police) The officer followed the vehicle – a silver Alfa Romeo onto Sackville Road when an attempt was made to stop the driver. Williams continued to drive - increasing in speed travelling onto the High Street. "He drove through a red light at the junction of Farrar Road and continued at speeds in excess of 60mph, overtaking several vehicles on Caernarfon Road before negotiating the Tesco roundabout the wrong way and entered onto the A4086 travelling contra before crossing the central carriageway up the eastbound on slip onto the A55. "Williams then attempted to turn right at the top of the on slip to travel westbound on the eastbound carriageway of the A55 and the officer took evasive action and made tactical contact with the vehicle to bring it to a stop. "Williams pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 52 weeks in prison and was disqualified from driving for 5 years and 3 months." (Image: North Wales Police) PC Robert Williams of the Roads Crime Unit added 'Williams' driving that evening was completely reckless and could have easily caused a serious, if not fatal incident. 'We know that disqualified and uninsured drivers like Williams pose a risk to other road users, both for causing serious collisions and in causing higher premiums for us all. 'We regularly carry out patrols and are determined to catch offenders, so we are pleased that a dangerous driver has been taken off the roads and is now paying the consequences by serving a custodial sentence.'
