Police continue to hold grave concerns for the wellbeing of Ronny Okeke.
The 60-year-old Sandringham man was reported missing to Police earlier this month on 3 May.
Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin, from Auckland City CIB, says Police urgently need to hear from anyone with information.
¡°It has been 24 days since Ronny was last seen, and our concerns only grow as each day passes,¡± he says.
¡°An investigation team has been working to try and piece together Ronny¡¯s movements and what may have led to his disappearance.¡±
Ronny was last seen on 27 April 2024 in the Mt Roskill area.
He is captured on CCTV footage leaving the New World on Stoddard Road at 4.42pm.
¡°This remains the last confirmed sighting of Ronny to-date,¡± Detective Inspector Baldwin says.
Earlier on the same day, at around 11am, Ronny attempted to contact his wife by phone.
¡°Ronny is regularly in contact with his wife, who lives overseas,¡± Detective Inspector Baldwin says.
¡°For her calls to continue to go unanswered since 27 April is highly unusual and gives us cause for concern.¡±
The investigation team¡¯s priority is to piece together Ronny¡¯s movements and locate him.
Detective Inspector Baldwin says: ¡°We are continuing to keep an open mind about what has happened to Ronny.
¡°We are urgently calling on the public to come forward if they have information.
¡°If you saw Ronny on 27 April, or if you have seen or heard from him since it is very important that you contact us.¡±
Please contact 105 quoting the file number 240501/3879.
