EARLIER:
The family of missing Carrington man, Jackson Baker fear the worst as the search continues for the 20-year-old.
He went missing after leaving the Argyle House Nightclub early last Thursday morning, while someone matching his description was seen swimming in Newcastle Harbour a short time later.
His mother Fran has told the Newcastle Herald she still holds out hope Jackson will turn up, saying he was very family orientated and loyal to his friends - and if he went away he wouldn't leave them hurting.
