Those searching for missing Auckland man Denver Chance have posted on social media asking motorists to check their dash cam footage for any sightings of his car from the day he went missing.
The 43-year-old was last seen more than one week ago , when he left the room he was renting in Mairangi Bay on Sunday, February 24 at 3.30pm.
Mr Chance told friends at the house that he would be returning within the hour, before driving away in his red 2008 Nissan Skyline, with the registration number LGH476.
He was reported missing on Wednesday and has not been in contact with friends or family since, which they say is very out of character for him.
Police have contacted Immigration and confirmed he has not left the country.
His mother, Paula McGregor, told RNZ's Morning Report it was unlikely that a medical condition could be linked to his disappearance, saying, "He's in to health, he's in to fitness, he's left everything behind."
"It's not a good scenario because he would never leave behind the things that he travels with whenever he goes anywhere, he hasn't even taken his toothbrush.
"We've exhausted everything we know ... it's just a mystery, it's a nightmare actually."
He has been described as having brown hair, 178cm tall, of a solid and muscular build, and has a tattoo on his shoulder and down his left arm.
A post on the Facebook page Help Find Denver is urging people who travelled on SH1 on Sunday, February 24 between 3.30pm and midnight to review their footage for possible sightings of his red 2008 Nissan Skyline, which he is thought to have been driving the day he went missing.
Anyone who was travelling around the Karaka area is also encouraged to contact police as his phone data indicates that he may have been in the Irwin Road, Karaka, area between 11pm and 12am on Sunday the 24th February.
Police said yesterday his car was captured on CCTV around 4.15pm on February 24 driving on the Southern Motorway just past the Drury exit, but police could not confirm if he was driving the vehicle at the time.
