Police are continuing to appeal to the public for assistance to locate a 42-year-old man missing from Home Hill since Sunday, December 10.
Phillip Malayta was last seen driving a green Toyota Avalon sedan near a sugar cane property near Rita Island Road, Jarvisfield, on the morning of December 10.
That afternoon, the vehicle was recovered by police along Richard Street, Ayr.
SES volunteers and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services RPAS drone pilots joined the Townsville PolAIR helicopter R521 and police in a land search of Rita Island Road, followed by a search of Plantation Creek conducted by police divers in January.
No items of interest were located and police are continuing to investigate the man’s whereabouts.
Phillip is described as First Nations, around 165cm tall, with a proportionate build, brown eyes and black hair.
Police and family hold concerns for his welfare as he has a medical condition and his disappearance is out of character.
