The daughter of missing Dunedin man Stephen Gourlay has released a heart-felt statement on behalf of their family pleading for the public's help.
Youngest daughter Emma Shaw asked for the public to look out for Mr Gourlay, who was last seen in the Ravensbourne area on December 19.
A possible sighting of Mr Gourlay on Moray Pl in the central city this morning was determined not to be him.
''We ask that members of the public ... keep an eye out around their neighbourhoods and homes, in areas of bush and similar,'' Ms Shaw said.
''We ask ... that they just keeping sharing posts on Facebook and ringing into the police with any information they may have. Please bring him home. We miss him so much and are worried sick.''
