|
Version 0 of 1. A ground search is being carried out for a father and daughter who have gone missing on the far north NSW coast. Greg Hutchings, 35, and his four-year-old daughter, Eeva Dorendahl, were last seen on Pottsville Road in Pottsville about 12.30pm on Saturday. Police say the pair were due to meet family in the area about midday but never arrived. It's believed they do not have access to a car, and family members hold serious concerns for their welfare. Eeva had been staying at her father's house at Pottsville but was due to return home to her mother at Kin Kin on the Sunshine coast, and they sent a text to say they were on their way, the ABC reported on Monday. “Obviously, the mother is distraught at this time, and his family are also concerned, but we're making every effort to contact anybody he knows in the area and we need the assistance of the public to help locate the father and his four-year-old daughter," acting Inspector Warwick Rhodes told ABC radio. A police spokeswoman said the ground search for the father and daughter was continuing on Monday morning. Hutchings is of Caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall, with short, brown, curly hair and of a thin build. Police say he was last seen wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, grey trousers and carrying a black backpack. Eeva is also of Caucasian appearance, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing an oversized blue and white-coloured shirt and multicoloured board shorts. <strong>Police are urging anyone with information about this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.</strong> Our editors' picks for the day's top news and commentary delivered to your inbox each morning. |
