Police and whānau are asking for the public’s help to locate Duncan Hill, a Kāpiti man who has been out of contact since early October.

What you need to know:
- Duncan was last seen by his landlord on the afternoon of October 5, at his home address in the Ōtaki Gorge area.
- Duncan left his vehicle and other personal items at home, and he has not been seen or heard from since.
- He has limited mobility due to a back injury, and his loved ones are understandably concerned.
- Police Land Search and Rescue, along with family, have completed searches of the immediate surrounding area, however it is difficult terrain and an isolated area.
- He is 59 years of age, Caucasian, 185cm tall, and of a stocky build with short greying hair.
- Duncan has been known to spend periods of time alone or in the company of spiritual groups.
