IMAGES OF “distinctive” jewellery worn by Justin Henry before his disappearance have been released by police.

The 34-year-old’s last final known moments were revealed in CCTV images of him seen ordering at a McDonald’s drive thru at 9:50pm on London Road, Croydon on 15 October. 

Henry was wearing a Rolex watch, three Cartier bracelets and a diamond ring.

His desperate family have confirmed he was wearing the jewellery when he was last seen, while CCTV also shows him wearing the items. 

Detectives investigating his disappearance hope the images could lead to finding the missing father-of-one. 

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Webb, of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, urged for people to use their “conscience” who might know about details of the case. 

“Finding this jewellery could be a vital step in finding out what has happened to Justin,” said Webb. 

“You may have seen someone wearing the jewellery or heard them talking about it. However you have found about these items, call us, and tell us what you saw or heard. 

“It is possible that you are in possession of the jewellery and had no idea of its significance. I can assure you our focus is finding Justin and you can speak to us, or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers.”

On the night he was last seen, Henry is believed to have driven his silver Mercedes E Class to Waddon Road.

His vehicle would remain there for two-and-a-half hours before being discovered on 16 October in Kingswood Drive, Dulwich.

It is unclear who was driving the vehicle due to indistinct CCTV images, but his family have said that it was not him.

Henry was last seen in person on the evening of 15 October at his partner’s address in Brixton. He was reported missing the next day. 

His family have described his disappearance as  “out of character”. 

Helen Henry, Henry’s mother, said: “Our family are broken and we cannot begin to heal until we get closure. I, my family, and the community are all devastated and we desperately want to find Justin. I am asking anyone who can help us to end our agony.

She added: “Justin’s son is only 11-years-old, he wants to know what has happened to his daddy and I am afraid that unless someone comes forward, he will never find out. Please look at the jewellery Justin was wearing and if you know what has happened to it, call police. We are asking anyone with information to help us, please do not turn away.”

Henry is understood to have links to the Forest Hill area 

A 29-year-old man and a 28-year-old man have been charged in connection with the investigation.

A 27-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and since been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in mid-January 2024.

Detectives still desperately need more information about Justin’s disappearance and the days leading up to him going missing. 

Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter/X @MetCC. Please quote Operation Ashgulf or CAD1523/02NOV.
