Intensified Search in Cornwall
Detectives intensify their efforts to locate Alexander Key, the 37-year-old partner of Sir Mick Jagger’s granddaughter, Assisi Jackson. Authorities release images of two dog walkers spotted in the area around the time of his disappearance, hoping they can provide crucial details.
Key, a chef and father of two, vanished from the coastal village of Boscastle, Cornwall, last Friday afternoon. He was last confirmed sighted at the Cobweb Inn pub, where CCTV footage captures him sitting alone in a black hooded top beneath a red stripy jumper.
Last Known Movements
Further CCTV from 3:25 p.m. the following Saturday shows Key walking past the Wellington Pub on Old Road, heading toward Boscastle Harbour and the River Valency. He wears the same distinctive red shirt, now layered with a blue anorak and black trainers.
Shortly after, images reveal a couple with dogs moving in the opposite direction. Officers urge this pair to come forward, as they may have crossed paths with Key during his walk.
The search unfolds amid harsh weather conditions, following Storm Ingrid on Friday and Saturday, and Storm Chandra earlier that week. Treacherous terrain and flooding complicate the operation in the picturesque yet rugged village, popular for its dramatic harbor and cliff walks.
Physical Description and Background
Police describe Key as 5 feet 8 inches tall, of medium build, with striking peroxide blonde hair. He often dons brightly colored clothing, including a notable orange patterned jacket seen in recent photos.
Key shares two daughters, Ezra, 11, and Romy, 6, with Assisi Jackson, 33, the eldest grandchild of Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, 82. The family resides in Cornwall, where Key co-owns The Rocket Store, a acclaimed seafood restaurant in Boscastle. The eatery sources fresh fish from Key’s father and meat from the family farm, featuring an interior artwork by Assisi’s father, Piers Jackson.
Assisi’s mother, jewelry designer Jade Jagger, 54, amplifies the police appeal on social media, sharing images of Key to reach a wider audience.
Police Urge Public Assistance
Devon and Cornwall Police report growing concern for Key’s welfare since his disappearance was noted Saturday evening. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call 999 immediately, referencing log number 847 of January 24, 2026.
The family remains deeply worried, and authorities emphasize the importance of community support in resolving the case swiftly.
