Search and rescue teams returned to the Hollybank Forest Reserve area today, searching for missing Scottsdale man Peter Willoughby.
"Search and rescue teams – comprising members from Tasmania Police, Tasmania SES, and Tasmanian Mounted Search and Rescue – returned to the Hollybank Forest Reserve area today, searching for 76-year-old Peter Willoughby who has been missing in the area since Sunday 5 October," said Tasmania Police Northern Search and Rescue Inspector Nick Clark.
Mr Willoughby was reported missing on the afternoon, after he went walking in thick bushland near Hollybank.
"Today our search teams re-covered some of the terrain previously searched, and we also searched new areas to the south of Mr Willoughby's last known location."
"Despite our extensive search efforts over the past ten days, sadly at this stage, we have not located Mr Willoughby."
"We remain determined to find Mr Willoughby, but given the length of time he has been missing, and the inclement weather conditions in the area, police hold serious concerns for his welfare."
Anyone who may have seen Mr Willoughby in the Hollybank area, or has information that could lead to his location, is asked to contact police no 131 444 and quote ESCAD 000192-05102025.
