Missing UK man Robert Kincaid last seen over two weeks ago found alive in Paris

Missing Robert Kincaid has been 'found alive in Paris' two weeks after he was last seen.

It is understood that the 38-year-old was discovered by emergency services in the French capital this morning and is currently receiving emergency medical treatment. Mr Kincaid could not be located after he missed his connecting flight at Charles de Gaulle Airport on July 17.

He had traveled from Benin in West Africa, where he had been working on an oil rig. But it has now been reported that he has been found, ending a two week search. It comes after a woman, 20, was found dead on bus with 26 iPhones glued to her body.

Mr Kincaid was initially due to travel home on July 30, but it has since been established that he left the oil rig early for reasons that remain unclear. The man, from Tullycarnet in East Belfast, had travelled from Benin and was due to board a connecting flight to Dublin, BelfastLive report.

He later told a friend he was in the airport bar after missing his flight, but when his family tried to contact him, they were met with silence. Two FaceTime calls to his phone that evening were answered by unknown individuals, one man, then a woman. Since then, there has been no trace of him.

Robert's family travelled to Paris on Wednesday to work directly with the French authorities to locate their brother, travelling across the city putting up missing persons posters. Speaking on Friday, Robert's brother Louis said: "Rab has been found by emergency services and is requiring ongoing emergency treatment. While he is not out of the woods yet, we are just glad he is alive. As a family, we would ask for privacy in the time ahead as we deal with the situation."

“When we arrived at the police station, they had no record of Robert’s disappearance being reported to them, so we filed a missing persons report there and then. They kept asking us if we were sure that he was in Paris and how we knew that he was in Charles de Gaulle,” his brother Louis said previously.

According to Louis, police in Paris initially insisted Robert had never arrived in France. They claimed he had not boarded the flight from Cotonou, Benin, and had not used his passport. “The police loaded up a laptop and said that he never got on the plane from Benin and said that he never presented his passport.

"They were adamant that he was not in Paris and told us that he had been booked on a flight from Benin to Paris last night, which was due to arrive this morning,” he said. However, the situation took a further turn when Foreign Office officials confirmed Robert had indeed boarded the original flight on July 17. His name appeared on the flight log, and his passport had been scanned.
