A body has been found in the search for missing teenager Cole Cooper who vanished more than four weeks ago.

The 19-year-old was seen on CCTV on May 4 as he tried but failed to gain access to his dad’s home at 6am in Longcroft after attending a party in Denny.

On May 7 he was last seen asking a school friend for a lift near Cumbernauld road – which he was not given.

He was officially reported missing two days later, and a body was found in a wooded area near Kilsyth Road in Falkirk yesterday.

His brother Connor told Sky News his family felt ‘lost’, describing Cole’s disappearance as ‘hell, for all of us’. Wendy Stewart, Cole’s mum, described his disappearance as ‘total heartache’.

She said: ‘Is it actually happening? I have been wanting to wake up and it’s just been a big nightmare.’
