Nearly five months after Travis Langford was last seen, the search is still underway.
Langford disappeared while travelling from Wellington to Waikato on 17 January this year.
Police said his vehicle was found burnt out on a Tolley Road farm in Ngaroma, Waikato. His dog was found in a nearby paddock the following day.
Some of his personal items were found near his vehicle, and the Eagle helicopter surveyed the area not long after it was discovered, police said.
An alleged sighting of Langford occurred around Waitangi weekend when he was believed to have been seen at Lake Waipapa, however police could not confirm whether it was him.
Another suspected sighting occurred on 2 March, but police later confirmed it was not Langford.
Langford's family were grateful for the information that had been provided since he went missing, they said. The family were continuing private searches for him.
His appearance may have changed over the last five months, police said.
Langford did not have any tattoos, however he did have a dark heart-shaped birth mark, about 3cm wide, on the left side of his neck. He was a slim build and approximately 5'10" (178cm) tall.
There were serious concerns for his wellbeing, police said. He was known to be very wary of people, however may have help from outside sources if he is hiding somewhere remotely, they said.
Police asked everybody in the wider Waikato region to keep an eye out, and report any potential sightings on 105 either over the phone or online, referencing file number 250119/4439.
