There continues to be welfare concerns for Robert John Snyder who was last seen at his home on Lakeside Parkway about 12pm on October 24.
A white Subaru Forester was spotted on Thomas Road in Oakford just 10 minutes later, which police believe the 62-year-old was travelling in.
The car has WA registration plates ‘1GQJ 931’.
His daughter Teneil Snyder said this was very unusual behaviour for her father.
“He is a respected engineer, adored poppy and loving husband, father, son and uncle,” she said.
“This is very unusual behaviour for him.
“He has five grandchildren that he adores and is planning his soon-to-be retirement to work on and build cars with them.”
In a desperate effort to find him, Mr Snyder’s 14-year-old grandson had created a map of all the places he could be.
She said the family held concerns he had a mental health breakdown due to being overwhelmed and “working too hard for too long”.
“Sadly, there’s been no major updates and no sightings since the day he disappeared on Friday,” Ms Snyder said.
“He hasn’t accessed any money and we don’t think he had much money on him and so it seems it’s likely he’s somewhere near Oakford and surrounding areas still.
“We all just want answers. We’re all very worried about him.”
Mr Snyder is described as being approximately 180cm tall, medium build and blue eyes.
Anyone who sees Mr Snyder or has information about his whereabouts is urged to contact police immediately on 131 444.
