Detectives from Newcastle City Police District are renewing their appeal for information to locate a man missing near Newcastle earlier this year.
Steven 'Feno' Fenwick, aged 33, was last seen about 2.30am on Thursday 31 January 2019, when he was walking with a woman near the intersection of Fullerton and Meredith streets, Stockton.
Several searches were conducted at the time, with detectives from Newcastle City Police District establishing Strike Force Kummari to investigate the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
This month will mark six-months since Steven was last seen; his mother, Debbie, has put out an emotional plea to the wider Newcastle and Stockton communities to help find her son.
"Steven has always been the type of person who would go out of his way to help his friends, family and even strangers in need.
"Even growing up, when his friends needed help, he would always ask us, his family, if they could stay until they got back on their feet.
"Our family and Steven's closest friends miss him dearly. Please help us find him, help us find answers," Mrs Fenwick said.
Newcastle City Police Crime Manager, Detective Chief Inspector Scott Parker, says any piece of information, whether it be big or small, could help find Steven.
"Any information provided to police can become a missing piece of the puzzle, and help find Mr Fenwick." Det Ch Insp Parker said.
As investigations into Strike Force Kummari continue, anyone who may have information about Steven's disappearance is urged to contact Newcastle Police Station on (02) 4929 0999 or to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
