Goldfields police suspend search for Perth man Paul Lamp missing for weeks
Police and family members say they have increasingly grave concerns for a Perth man missing from almost three weeks. Paul Michael Lamp left his home in Chidlow on May 9 and was last seen shopping in Kalgoorlie, 600 kilometres east of Perth, on May 10. Police believe the 54-year-old then headed west, with a phone pinging a transmission tower near Coolgardie later that day. Mr Lamp's family has since joined police and State Emergency Service volunteers searching a 1,600km area of remote scrubland for leads on his whereabouts. While that search effort was suspended at the weekend, Goldfields Police Superintendent Mick Kelly said fresh information from the public remained critical. "There are grave concerns for his welfare," he said. "If he does hear this particular message please reach out to your family, your loved ones are hurting. He said it is not known why Mr Lamp travelled to the Goldfields and there is no evidence of criminality in his disappearance. It is understood his family had previously travelled in the area when he was younger, but is otherwise unclear why he chose Coolgardie. "Mr Lamp, like some of us, did show an interest in prospecting shows," Superintendent Kelly said. "Enquiries with local prospectors that are out there at the moment, and prospecting shops, have not indicated anything to suggest he may have purchased equipment to go looking for gold." Many of Mr Lamp's family have travelled to the area to assist the search. His sister Rachael Lamp expressed her gratitude for all the people who have helped with the search. "We've got volunteers that have been amazing, people we don't even know, locals, police have been fabulous. The SES," she said. "He's a member of a big family and we all love him. "We all need him home. "If anybody's got any information at all please contact the police and let them know." Mr Lamp was driving a blue Nissan Navara utility with the registration plate 1HNT 095. He was identified on CCTV wearing an olive green t-shirt, dark blue training pants, and black thongs with a white sole. He is approximately 180 centimetres tall with tanned skin, a medium to solid build, with thick, short, dark hair and brown eyes. Anyone who has seen Mr Lamp, or with any information relating to his whereabouts, can call police on 131 444.

A 22-Year-Old Man Changed His Style and Shared Hopes of Starting a Podcast. Now, His Mom Is ‘Worried' for His Future
A mother raised concerns about her 22-year-old son in a post on the UK-based forum Mumsnet on Monday, May 12 Among her worries was his interest in the arts and decision to stop cutting his hair "He used to be such a sensible boy," the mom said of her adult sonA mom is fearful for her adult son's future after noticing a change in his interests and personal style. Expressing her concerns on the UK-based forum Mumsnet on Monday, May 12, the mother explained that she recently noticed several changes in her 22-year-old son's behavior. She listed signs that she believes demonstrate he won't become the 'dependable' and 'sensible' man that she and her husband had hoped for. 'He seems to be keen on the arts,' the mom wrote. 'He's been talking about starting a podcast with his friends and he's stopped cutting his hair and is getting a ridiculous mullet to go alongside a wispy mustache, which looks so untidy." 'The other day he tried to show me a video of Ed Sheeran where Ed Sheeran was showing off all his tattoos,' she continued, before adding, 'I am just worried that the artistic life is a struggle and certainly don't want him getting a tattoo he used to be such a sensible boy.' 'Am I overreacting?' the mom asked. The post garnered hundreds of comments, with the majority of responses arguing that the mother should allow her son to make his own decisions. Several people argued his actions weren't illegal and gave examples of decisions their own children made that they sat back and watched despite not agreeing with them. 'Mullets are on trend! Also, millions of people like Ed Sheeran,' one commenter wrote. 'Having tattoos and a mullet will not affect him in modern times. Starting a podcast suggests he is creative, charismatic, and confident." 'Aren't those good traits? Let him get on with it and stop being so judgmental,' they continued.

Another person said, 'So long as he's working a day job to fund the pod and pay his way and not relying on you or the government for handouts then what's the issue?' 'OP [original poster], we've all been there with the dreadful haircuts, wispy taches, straggly beards,' a third chimed in. 'All you can do is roll your eyes inwardly and be glad that he's young and adventurous and having fun, and that there'll be another haircut along soon. Honestly, if this is as far as you get tested, you're a very lucky mother!' Other commenters warned the mom that she could end up pushing her son away if she tries to dictate what he does.

A few people also attempted to remind her that personal style and interests can change again at any time, what he does now may not determine his future. A commenter wrote: 'So you don't like his hair and facial hair, interest in the arts, and the fact that he showed you an Ed Sheeran video, because clearly this means he will never settle down as a nice, dependable accountant married to a nice, sensible girl with 2 nice, sensible children, and spend his weekends washing the car and wearing gilets? Don't you think you're overreacting somewhat to a mullet and an Ed Sheeran video?' Another added: 'Your son is an adult at 22, and can make his own choices. If you don't want to push him away then I wouldn't start trying to dictate what he can or cannot do, or what you think he should or should not do. He is old enough to work out what he enjoys/is a viable career and tattoos are a personal choice.' Read the original article on People
