Urgent search is launched for Aussie bloke Jackson Parker who vanished without a trace in Bali
A young Australian tourist has been missing in Bali for more than two weeks, prompting an urgent search.
Jackson Parker, 22, from southeast Queensland, was last heard from on November 8. He also hasn’t updated his social media.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said Mr Parker boarded a flight to Bali on October 30.
“We are trying to find a missing Australian (our son) and hope some of you can share this message and information with everyone in Bali in the tourism industry, hotels, bars, hostels, tourism organizations, authorities and everyone you know,” says he. father Roly Parker posted a message on the Bali expats Facebook group.
‘Jackson Parker has been missing since November 8 and his family are desperate to find him.
‘The authorities have been alerted, but it is important that his information is made public.
‘It’s extremely strange for him not to be in contact.
Mr Parker’s visa application stated that he was booked to stay at Premium Villas Seminyak in the island’s capital, Denpasar, but he did not check into the property and has not been heard from since.
Jackson is 178 cm tall, has light brown to blonde hair, blue eyes and a medium build.
His family said it was out of character for Mr Parker (pictured) not to contact them
Commenters on the post shared their support for the family.
“So sad, I hope you hear from him soon,” one said.
“Is there any chance he went to an island somewhere where a lot of younger boys and girls camp and enjoy life without phone reception,” another suggested.
‘I sincerely hope that he returns home safe and sound as soon as possible.’
‘All the best. I can only imagine how hard it is for you and the family right now. God bless, said a third.
Jackon’s father said he was heading to Bali to assist in the search himself.
