“If you or someone you know has seen Murray, please contact Police. He is so loved, and we are searching hard to have him home safely.
“To the Aus and NZ hunting community, and our military friends that are coming over to assist with the search, I am eternally grateful. A big thank you to LandSAR, Police, the amazing volunteers and everyone else who has reached out to help so far.”
