On the one-year anniversary of Patrick Thaidy’s disappearance, NSW Police is still no closer to finding answers to his whereabouts.

Detectives are now re-appealing for public assistance as they continue to search for the missing Lake Macquarie man.

The 60-year-old was last seen at his home on Delasala Drive, in Macquarie Hills, about 12am on Sunday 6 December 2020.

Further inquiries have confirmed Mr Thaidy was later sighted along Macquarie Road at Cardiff about 9.25am and again on Bayview Street, Warners Bay, about 10.45am that same day.

And, despite extensive searches and investigations by Lake Macquarie Police District officers into his movements since then, he remains missing.

Mr Thaidy is described as of of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance, about 175cm tall, with a medium build, short black hair, facial hair and brown eyes.

He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, light-grey tracksuit pants tucked into black socks, and white slides.

Police and family members hold grave concerns for his welfare due to medical conditions.

On Tuesday 7 December, officers attached to Police Rescue conducted further aerial searching, utilising a drone, and ground exploration in bushland and scrub off Bayview Street, Warners Bay.

As inquiries continue, anyone who may have seen or heard from Mr Thaidy or may have any information which could assist investigators is urged to contact Belmont Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
