The community of Waterlooville is growing increasingly concerned as the search continues for Ash Wingham, who has been missing since the evening of Friday, April 12, 2025. Ash was last seen at The Phoenix Club in Waterlooville, with his last known location being around Portsdown Hill later that night. Since then, no one has heard from him—a silence his loved ones say is completely out of character.
His fiancée, Aimi-leigh Dawkins, has made an emotional public plea for help, sharing her fears and the desperate steps she’s taken to find him. She’s spent hours walking through Havant, Waterlooville, and Purbrook in the dark, trying to retrace his steps. She’s contacted the police, checked local hospitals like Queen Alexandra (QA), reached out to family and friends, and posted regularly on social media, hoping someone might know something.
Ash was driving a black Mazda with the license plate HN59 UWK, and Aimi-leigh is urging anyone who may have seen the car—parked or on the move—to come forward. She’s asked the public to check home security footage from Friday evening to early Saturday morning, even if it seems like a long shot.
Police have been informed, and a missing persons investigation appears to be underway. In the meantime, community members are being asked to stay alert and check in with friends, neighbors, or anyone who might have passed through the area that night.
Ash’s sudden disappearance has left those who love him deeply shaken. While they hope he simply needed space or had an unexpected weekend away, the silence is worrying. This is not like him, and those closest to him are holding on to hope while fearing the worst.
If you’ve seen Ash, his car, or anything unusual in the areas mentioned, please call Hampshire Police at 101. Ash, if you’re reading this—please let someone know you’re okay. You are loved and missed more than words can express.
Time matters. The community is watching, sharing, and hoping—for answers, for Ash, and for his safe return.
