"Even if it was a hello in the passing or an acknowledgement of him being around, please don't hesitate to make contact with us.

"Any information would be of great value to all of Quentin's family or friends. We are desperate to know of his whereabouts and deeply concerned for his wellbeing."

In a direct appeal to her brother, she added: "Quentin if you happen to see or hear this, we are missing you and are wishing you would get in touch with us.
