A MAN who failed to return home from a trip abroad has been found.
Helen Hannah issued a desperate plea for help yesterday after her son Darren Ferguson disappeared.
She said he had lost his passport, phone and wallet and did not come back from the trip with his four friends.
The Evening Times spoke to the family this morning, who had just had confirmation that Darren has been traced.
As yet, they are unsure as to where he has been but are relieved he has been found.
Mum Helen was preparing to fly out to Berlin to search for her son this morning when she received the news.
Kind-hearted Berlin residents also offered to help, with some reporting to have seen Darren near the busy Friedrichshain area.
Another person also confirmed they had contacted the police at the main train station, where a report of a missing phone and passport had been given under the name of Darren Ferguson on Sunday morning.
Helen Hannah said she is the "happiest mum on the planet" now Darren has been found, and thanked everyone for their help.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
