Search for man missing in Taupō bush continues
The search for a man missing in Taupō bush will continue on Thursday morning.
Scott McPherson, 22, contacted his family on Tuesday, to tell them he was lost in the bush around Opepe Farm, near State Highway 5, also known as the Napier-Taupō Road.
No-one was heard from him since. McPherson was last seen wearing green camouflage pants, a black jacket and a white Tui hat. The search team met at 7am on Thursday to discuss a plan for the day, a police spokeswoman said.
McPherson is described as 183cm tall, of slim build, with short light brown hair. He has blue eyes and a tattoo on his left shoulder down to his elbow, as well as a scar on his neck. Police are asking anyone who might have seen Scott to get in touch by ringing 111.
