The 44-year-old has been missing since Thursday 13 November, and Police have been searching the area where he was last known to be.
Louis was last seen at around 10am, believed to be heading to the Tui Domain Track via the Hamilton Street entrance, at the base of Mount Te Aroha.
"Since then, there have been no sightings of Louis despite our efforts to locate him," says Detective Inspector Matt Cranshaw. "As time passes, we are getting more concerned for his wellbeing."
Detective Inspector Cranshaw says Police have been searching around Te Aroha, with volunteers from Land Search and Rescue, and Canyon Search and Rescue in bush areas and streets nearby.
"We ask members of the Te Aroha community to review any CCTV or dashcam footage they may have from Thursday."
Louis was last seen wearing a dark blue shirt, brown pants, and old blue and white striped jandals. "If you someone that may look like Louis, or someone wearing clothes like this description, please contact us."

At around 10.55pm on Saturday (15 November), a woman knocked on the victim’s door, saying she had a flat tyre and needed help.
The victim – a man in his 50s – walked with the woman to the corner of Melvin Street and Turner Street, where he was accosted by a man and assaulted. During the assault, the offender also attempted to restrain the victim by tying his hands behind his back. The victim suffered serious injuries in the assault, including a fractured eye socket and broken nose.
Enquiries are under way to establish the identity of the man and woman involved in this incident and we’re hoping Edendale residents can help.
Following the assault, the victim saw an SUV leaving the area at speed, and we believe it is likely the man and woman were in this SUV.
To help us locate this vehicle, we would like to hear from any residents who have street-facing security cameras on Turner Street, Melvin Street, Seawood Road or Ferry Road, and who may have captured footage of the vehicle on Saturday night.
We would also like to speak to anyone who saw an SUV in the Edendale township between 10pm and midnight, or anyone with other information which could assist our enquiries.
If you can help, please contact Police via 105, quoting file number 251116/4977. Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

But beneath the neat garden and solid pathways, our inspection revealed a different story — multiple cracks and offsets in the ceramic drain lines, likely caused by the 2010–2011 earthquakes.
The damage wasn’t causing major symptoms yet, but it was only a matter of time. Thankfully, the property had an EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim on record, and our team was able to guide the owner through the process of submitting a repair claim.
Once approved, we replaced the damaged sections, reinstated the site to its original condition, and left both tenant and owner relieved to have caught the problem early — and grateful it didn’t come out of their pocket.
Have you claimed your free drain check with Enviroflo yet?"

Now, while I can never underestimate the love each of you have for your 'baby', please show your pet the respect and love you have for it by NOT letting it hang out the window of your car.
As of late, I've seen far too many of you doing just this and it makes my heart skip a beat each time.
The rest of us don't know if your fur baby is going to jump or fall out of that window. We don't know if they are going to fall when the breaks are applied or for any other reason, we don't know if they are going to jump to greet another dog they've seen.
We don't know!
Watching a dog extending its head or any other body part outside a motor vehicle window while the person is driving the motor vehicle on a public road or motorway, makes me (and so many others) so nervous.
The ones that are on the driver's lap or hanging out of the driver's window just absolutely beggars belief!
I understand that your dog wants fresh air, but for the love of God, restrain your fur baby with a harness or pet seat belt or put it in a appropriately sized crate in the back seat, anything to keep it safe and not fall/jump out of the window.
Maybe you could have it under under the physical control of a person other than the driver of the motor vehicle.
The same applies to those people who put their dog in the back of the ute on a long chain. What if the dog fell over the side and hung itself?
Please shorten the chain.
None of us want to see your 'baby' hurt or worse, killed on the roads.
Please, please, show the love you say you have for your pet by looking after it and protecting it in all places and occassions.

The “Sudoku” below has 16 clues and two solutions. However the two solutions appear to only swap around the 8s and 9s. Since there are no 8s or 9s in the original puzzle does this mean the solution is unique?
It is believed that there is no Sudoku with 16 clues i.e. with a unique solution. It was mathematically proven in 2012 by Gary McGuire and his team that 17 is the minimum number of clues possible for a valid Sudoku puzzle to have a unique solution; puzzles with 16 or fewer clues cannot have only one solution.
