Terry McSpadden disappeared in 2007 and has not been seen since. His family are desperate to find out what happened to him

A father-of-two who disappeared just two weeks he was drugged and wrapped up in industrial cling film is now likely to be dead, an inquest has heard.

Terry McSpadden was last seen on March 2, 2007, in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. He has had no contact with friends since, but his body has never been found.

An inquest into his death heard that he went missing weeks after a strange episode in which he was apparently drugged unconscious and woke to find himself bound.

The 24-year-old told friends he was staying at a friend, Jonathan Porter's, house when he lost consciousness. He said he later woke and found himself cocooned in 'industrial-style cling film'. His friend cut him free.

Mr McSpadden later feared that someone was trying to harm or kill him, but had no idea who, friends said.

Ian Ayres, colleague of Mr McSpadden, said the incident had left him badly shaken.

He added in a statement: 'He said he thought anyone who had done it would murder him... in his mind he had no enemies to think of.'

Probation officer Diane Edmond, who was in contact with Mr McSpadden, said in a statement: 'He told us he felt himself losing consciousness and felt he was going to die.'

Mr Porter was charged with the murder of Mr McSpadden in December 2012, but the charge was later dismissed due to insufficient evidence.

Mr Porter declined to say anything about the case on legal advice at the inquest.

Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake recorded an open conclusion, ruling that Mr McSpadden had probably died he day he disappeared.

She said the cause and place of his death was unknown.

Norfolk Police unresolved cases manager Tony Deacon said: 'There's no evidence whatsoever of Terry being alive in the real world anywhere.'

Mr Deacon added that the police investigation remained open.

Mr McSpadden's mother Helen Thrower, said: 'If any new evidence comes in, if anybody knows anything about what happened to Terry or where his body could possible be, please, please tell somebody.

'It's like living in a nightmare. You get up, it's the first thing on your mind, it's the last when you go to bed. It's just horrendous.'

Mr McSpadden's step-sister Nikki Wright Heard said: 'It's time we had answers, his children need answers. There needs to be some form of closure.

'We need people to come forward and tell us new information; even though it's a cold case it will never stop being investigated.
