‘[It’s] a huge area, but it could be somewhere on a road in Conway NP.

‘We have searched there ourselves, but so far without result.’

Joel, a father of two young boys, celebrated his 40th birthday last week, on August 14th.

He is an Instagram influencer who runs a company that designs logos and teaches courses where he teaches others how to start their own businesses.

Locals are recruiting volunteers and drones to help with the search in the national park, which stretches 75 kilometers along the coastline.

Investigators are asking Joel, or anyone with information, to contact police.

He is described as 190 cm tall, white, of proportionate build, with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
