'He's completely disappeared' - Rotorua man with head injury missing since Friday

November 20, 2017

The mother of a missing Rotorua man is pleading for members of the public to come forward with any information they may have.

Nigel Peterson, 33, has been missing since Friday, after jumping out of a car on Otonga Road.

Speaking to 1 NEWS, Irene Goldsmith said it’s unusual for her son to wander off.

“We’re getting to end of our tether, it’s been so long”.

Nigel suffers from a head injury which he sustained when he was a baby, making communication difficult for him.

Irene said there’s been no leads on the search in Rotorua and they’re gearing up for a broader search.

Police and Search and Rescue teams have been looking for Nigel since he vanished.

“He’s completely disappeared, and we just need the public to help”

Police say they have serious concerns for Nigel’s welfare and ask that anyone who sees him to call 111 immediately.
