THE mystery surrounding the disappearance of Rookhurst local Garry Conwell seems no closer to being solved since he vanished without trace on 26 June 2024.
“Garry Conwell, aged 71, was last seen about 11am on Wednesday 26 June 2024, riding a quad bike on a property at Craven Creek Road, Rookhurst, approximately 20 kilometres northwest of Gloucester,” said a Police spokesperson on 2 July 2024.
“When the quad bike was found and he was unable to be located or contacted, officers attached to Manning/Great Lakes were notified, and commenced inquiries into his whereabouts.
“Since then, a coordinated land search involving police, Westpac Rescue Helicopter, NSW SES, VRA and RFS has been underway, with no items of interest located.
“At 2pm today (Tuesday 2 July 2024), the coordinated land search was suspended.”
The Missing Persons Register explains that Mr Conwell left home to feed his cows on his quad bike wearing underpants, dressing gown and work boots.
“The investigation still continues in conjunction with the Missing Person Unit,” said a Police spokesperson.
Police urge anyone with information about his whereabouts to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
