Brit businessman ‘goes missing’ in Kenya after ‘leaving luxury hotel’ as cops probe who called him before disappearance
Police have launched an extensive search for Campbell Scott, a senior director with the data analytics company FICO.
He reportedly vanished after leaving his luxury hotel in Kenya, according to The Times.
The 58-year-old was on a business trip with a colleague for a conference at the JW Marriott hotel.
He arrived there on Sunday and was last seen around 11.15am on Monday.
His colleague reported him missing Monday evening after being unable to reach him on his mobile phone at 6pm.
By 7pm, the hotel advised that the police were contacted sparking a search involving hotel security and management as well as officers from the Parklands police station.
Detectives are reported to have since taken over the case and have visited local bars and hotels in the Westlands district for information relating to Campbell.
A foreign office spokesman told The Sun: “We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in Kenya and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Interpol have been contacted by investigators to help access the businessman’s phone records to find out who he was in contact with before he went missing.
Officers have so far been given the statements of at least five people from the hotel including security guards and staff to help with the investigation.
Campbell was scheduled to meet with officials from the UK, US, and several African countries for a three-day conference about markets for new products.
His FICO bio states that ht is based in the London office and is “responsible for global regulatory and compliance product management within the FICO Scores team.”
He joined the company in 2014 from Experian UK and has over 25 years of experience in “data management and customer identity and verification solutions.”
FICO has confirmed to The Sun: “A FICO employee, Campbell Scott, went missing on Sunday, February 16, in Nairobi, Kenya while he was on a business trip.
“FICO is working with our local partners and local authorities to investigate the matter.
“We do not have any further information at this time.
“Our thoughts are with Campbell’s family and friends.
“Please respect his privacy and do not speculate about this situation.
“If anyone has information that may be helpful regarding his whereabouts, they should contact the Metropolitan Police.”
