1 min read

Queenstown Police are continuing to search for missing Australian tourist Robert Galdamez tonight. ?
?
Ground teams of police staff and volunteers are being assisted by search dogs and a night-vision equipped helicopter.
?
Weather during the day has been variable, with some light snow falling this afternoon.
?
The area where Mr Galdamez was last seen has been extensively searched by air – both last night and during the day today – and ground searches have been undertaken in areas of interest under the forest canopy today.
?
At this stage, nothing of note has been discovered.
?
Further planning will take place tonight in the event that Mr Goldamez is not found, and if necessary the search will re-commence first thing tomorrow morning.
?
More than 20 people are involved in the search effort.
