Police have suspended their search for a Tokoroa teacher who has been missing for two months.

Jayleb-Che Dean, 36, went missing from a swimming spot on Waiotapu Loop Road in Rotorua on 30 September.

Earlier this month police ruled out foul play and said they weren’t looking for anyone in relation to his disappearance.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark van Kempen said police had conducted aerial and ground searches but hadn’t been able to find him.

“This is an incredibly difficult situation for Jayleb-Che’s family, and we are offering them ongoing support.”

He said police were still committed to bringing the man home, but the physical search had been suspended.
