One year on from the disappearance of Nelson man Leo Lipp-Neighbours police are appealing to the public to come forward with any information that may help their investigation.
Detective Sergeant Ian Langridge said police had not given up hope of finding Leo who has not been seen since 24 January 2010.
"The file is still open. We have investigated numerous sightings of a vehicle similar to Leo's in Marlborough around North Bank Road and Rai Saddle. Unfortunately we still haven't been able to definitely establish if those sightings were Leo or another person."
Detective Sergeant Langridge said police had also not ruled out the possibility that Leo's disappearance was the result of foul play.
"We're still investigating every avenue and we're very keen to hear from anyone who may have information relating to Leo's disappearance".
"We met with Leo's family today and they need to know what has happened to their son. Police want this resolved as well. If there's someone out there who knows something we need them to come forward."
Anyone with information can contact Detective Kelvin Heiford at Nelson Police Station. Anonymous information can also be given to Crimestoppers, Ph 0800 555 111.
