Police issue an urgent appeal for missing Christchurch man Braydon Hepworth. The last confirmed sighting of Hepworth is reported to be at a service station on September 3.
Police say the search has continued since the disappearance and that his absence is now being treated with concern. Stuff and NZ Herald both report that the man is 21 years old and that police are asking the public for information that could help locate him. While the outlets focus on the same disappearance date and general concern, the reports emphasize slightly different framing: NZ Herald highlights an urgent appeal for the missing man, while Stuff notes it is a fresh appeal and cites that he has been missing for about three weeks.
Both outlets indicate that the police request is directed at anyone who may have seen Hepworth around the time of the last confirmed sighting or who has relevant information to share with investigators.
