Missing sailor's wife makes tearful plea to find her 'soul mate'
Rachael MacColl, 25, said she has not given up hope since husband Timmy MacColl, 28, vanished while on shore leave in Dubai on May 27.
But she revealed their seven-year-old son Cameron now believes “Daddy is in heaven”.
Appeals to trace the Leading Seaman - who is said to have got into a taxi back to port at around 2am after a night out - have drawn blanks.
But Mrs MacColl - who gave birth to the couple’s third child, daughter Eriskay, last month - still believes her husband of six years may be alive.
Mrs MacColl, whose family is originally from Killin, Stirling, today described the effect his disappearance has had on Eriskay, Cameron, and daughter Skye, four.
Surrounded by family and friends at Timmy’s home port of Portsmouth, Hants, she said: “My daughter thinks her daddy is still going to come home.
“Only this weekend, she asked: ’Do they look for daddy in the dark?’
“She also said: ’I hope he comes home soon.’
“My son is a little bit older and he believes his daddy is in heaven and is never going to come back.
“He says he is the man of the house now. He has taken charge of the TV remote and has taken his dad’s seat.
“Eriskay is not going to have the chance to know her dad unless our appeal to find him is successful.
“I do believe sometimes that Timmy is sitting in a police cell, having been mistaken for somebody else.”

Shock ... Royal Navy sailor, husband and father Timothy has never seen his baby daughter
Mrs MacColl last spoke to her husband, who she described as her “soul mate, first love and best friend”, two days before he disappeared.
He was excited about her pregnancy because she had given him her 20 week scan pictures of Eriskay as a six year wedding anniversary present.
The Scottish sailor had proudly shown the scan to crewmates.
Mrs MacColl said she collapsed when navy officers called to deliver the news that Timmy was missing.
She added: “My head could not understand what they meant.
“For the last five months, I have sat at home unable to give up hope, unable to move forwards, unable to grieve.”
Timmy’s shipmates say they put him in a taxi outside a night club in the early hours of Sunday, May 27, to return to their ship HMS Westminster.
He did not arrive back on board at its berth in Port Rashid and has not been seen since or made contact with his family or the Royal Navy.
A taxi driver questioned by police recalls dropping a sailor back at port that night.

BRIDPORT: Naval Association mark Trafalgar Day
