Police searching for missing man Raymond Horn are searching for possible witnesses who were in Invercargill’s Queens Park on Monday.

Police would like to speak to anyone in the park, as they may have seen the 68-year-old Horn and have information that may aid their investigation.

Horn has been missing since Monday. CCTV footage shows him walking through the park between 10:20 a.m. and 11 a.m. on February 15, the day he disappeared.

“We also urge any homeowner in the area near the park to thoroughly search their homes and properties.”

On Friday, police wanted to speak to two people who were passing by and behind Horn when they disappeared.

CCTV footage showed a woman passing Horn on the south side of Yarrow St, as they both headed toward the intersection with Queen’s Drive, around 9.40am Monday, an hour and 40 minutes after Horn was last seen. Once at the nursing home at Walmsley House, where he lived.

And another video shows a man walking behind Horn, also along Yarrow St, the same morning.

Police were very concerned for Horn’s well-being, but a doctor had told them that he might still be alive, even though they had not seen him for four nights, Martin said.

Horn had a stroke in 2017 and was unable to speak, shuffled around and was known to be confused, his sister said..

Raymond Horn, (now 68) who is missing in Invercargill, photographed in 2013, before a stroke changed his life.

He was last seen at 8 a.m. Monday at the Walmsley House nursing home, where he lived, but did not show up for lunch.

Staff at the nursing home reported him missing after being unable to locate him themselves.

His sister, Wendy Lee-Arona, previously said she was scared for him.

“I’m very scared because I don’t know where he is, I don’t understand what happened.”

His routine was to leave the nursing home to smoke and take a “little walk” down Macmaster St, he said.

“He always came back … this is out of line.”

He was thought to be wearing a light colored polo-style shirt, a black and red jacket, athletic shoes, and sweat pants or jeans.

Anyone with information should contact the police at 105 and cite event number P045508171.
