The loved ones of a missing farmer and real estate owner in central Victoria are reaching out for help as they grow increasingly worried about his whereabouts. Patrick Connally, a 74-year-old man, was last seen driving his white Toyota Land Cruiser in Heathcote around 2pm on May 24. His family and the authorities are concerned as he did not return home that night and may have gone to check on his rural property in Baynton.
There have been extensive searches conducted by the police on both land and air, but so far, there has been no trace of him. Sergeant Holly Lembke, who is leading the investigation, described the situation as a bit of a mystery. She stated that they are focusing their efforts on finding his vehicle in the large area and nearby roads that he may have taken. They are also monitoring his bank account, which has not been used since his disappearance. This is especially concerning due to his medical conditions that require daily medication.
It is believed that Connally may have taken a wrong turn and become disorientated, leading to him getting lost. A major challenge in the search is that he does not carry a mobile phone with him. "Not having a mobile phone has made the search more difficult," Lembke shared. While there are no suspicions of foul play, the authorities are keeping an open mind in their investigation.
The community has joined forces with the police in search of the grandfather of five. They are determined to bring him back home, and his son Justin Connally has expressed that nothing is more important to them at the moment. The authorities are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward and assist in bringing him back to his loved ones. Every piece of information, no matter how small, could be crucial in solving this case and reuniting the family with their beloved patriarch.
