Police in Western Australia continue searching for 27-year-old Victorian man Samuel Whitsed, who goes missing after last being seen near the Bibbulmun Track in Perth’s south-eastern fringe. Multiple outlets report he is believed to have travelled from Victoria to hike on the popular walking route. He was last seen on 18 February after he was dropped off near the track area, according to ABC and other reports. As the search continues nearly three months later, police say they are increasingly concerned for his welfare and have scoured dense bushland linked to the trail. The West Australian and 7News report that investigators found a tent believed to belong to Whitsed during an extensive search, which supports efforts to locate him in the surrounding area. The Age, Brisbane Times, and Sydney Morning Herald also note that WA Police hold a press conference to circulate information about his disappearance. Police continue to appeal for public assistance as the search enters an extended phase.
