The search for a Sunshine Coast man who went missing near Murgon has been scaled back, as police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
27-year-old Jack McLennan was last seen between 8pm and 10pm on Friday, October 4.
An air and land search operation, particularly west of Murgon, has been unsuccessful in locating him and was scaled back on the weekend.
So far during searches, a hat and pair of shoes, believed to be owned by Jack, have been located near Ficks Crossing west of Gympie and McAlister and McLucas Streets, Murgon.
Police Dive Squad, police dogs, SES volunteers, and other specialised teams also joined the search.
Detectives from the Darling Downs Criminal Investigation Branch and Homicide Investigation Unit have established Operation Whiskey Pocket.
Evidence continues to be analysed and evaluated against new information that is received.
The QPS has advised the family and will continue to provide on any updates.
Jack is described as Caucasian in appearance, approximately 185cm tall with light brown hair, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and dark shorts.
Anyone with information about Jack’s whereabouts is urged to immediately contact police.
Nearby residents are being asked to continue checking their properties, including any outbuildings and sheds, for signs of Jack.
Police are appealing to witnesses, particularly a person who camped overnight in the Ficks Crossing area, to come forward.
It is believed this person was travelling in a dark coloured vehicle with a roof top tent.
Investigators are also appealing for anyone who may have seen a person walking along the Bunya Highway towards Wondai on October 4 around 10.40pm to contact police.
