Mystery still surrounds disappearance of Lambeth student Harvey Parker

A search in the Thames for a musician who disappeared after a night out at a club has failed to find him.

Cops were looking for Lambeth student Harvey Parker, who has not been seen since leaving a Westminster night club alone on December 17.

A review of CCTV in the area indicated Harvey might have entered the water near the Golden Jubilee Bridge – but the search found nothing.

At this stage of the investigation there is nothing to suggest that there is any third party involvement.

Harvey, 20, was seen leaving Heaven Nightclub alone, by Charing Cross Railway Station in Westminster at around 2.15am on Friday, 17 December.

He had been to a Little Simz concert at Brixton’s O2 Academy earlier in the evening.

The student’s mother Amanda Parker has urged anyone with information to come forward.

When Harvey failed to return home on Friday morning, she initially thought Harvey was at work at the Theatre Royal Stratford East.

But she became increasingly worried and called the police after failing to get hold of the York University student by the evening.

She told the Metro: “We alerted the police, we went down to Heaven to see if anyone knew or heard anything to really get the ball rolling.

“We’ve gone to hospitals with his pictures, we’ve phoned every big A&E in London, I’m just beyond words to be honest, I really am.”

She last saw him after he returned home from the concert. “Just before we went to bed Harvey came back and was really upbeat and very positive about the concert and had a good time,” she said.

She described Harvey as a “phenomenal musician” who is able to play the flute, piano and organ.

In a social media post shared by close friends and family, Harvey is described as 5ft 8 height and mixed race with a slim build and short black hair.

Friend Jeffrey Ingold tweeted: “Every day now I wake up thinking about Harvey Parker and my heart breaks a little more. Please keep looking and sending love & strength to his family.”

In a tweet, Lambeth MPS said: “We are currently very concerned about the welfare of Harvey PARKER who was last seen on the 16th December 2021 at Heaven Nightclub at Charing Cross.

“If you have any information which may help us find Harvey, please contact us and quote Ref 21MIS039522.”

Detective Sergeant Dick Nation, from the Area South Safeguarding Unit, said. “We have not been able to speak to Harvey on his phone and we are not aware of any reason why he should not be in contact with his family.

“Both his family and police are extremely worried by his disappearance and we are asking for anyone who may have seen Harvey after he left the club, or has any other information, to call police immediately.”
