THE family of Tinonee resident Scott Hayden is pleading for the public’s help to help locate the missing 46-year-old.
Scott was last seen on the evening of 30 May in his car on Thunderbolts Way, Tibbuc.
The vehicle was found abandoned the following day, parked on the side of the road near Tibbuc Road.
The gold-coloured Ford Falcon with the registration number JE77US had a flat battery and was facing in the direction of Barrington.
An extensive search by Police, the SES and Fire Brigade failed to locate Scott.
Scott’s family said he was experiencing a mental health episode at the time but his disappearance is out of character.
“It appears someone may have tried to help him start the car as the battery holder was left undone and [was] off the battery,” his sister Merrilyn Hayden said.
“Did anyone happen to give him a lift? Did anyone see him walking along the road? Did anyone see him at Gloucester train station?”
Scott has distinctive arm tattoos with the face of a lion, and the words TRUTH and YAHWEH.
If anyone has any information as to Scott’s whereabouts, they should immediately contact local police or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
