MISSING PERSON / WHERE IS ZAC BARNES??
Where is missing teen Zac Barnes? a question that his family are desperate to know.
I'm starting something new to my blog to raise awareness for missing persons around Australia and to bring more attention to these cases. As information is vital and if I can help spread the word anyway i can then I will.
Zac Barnes 18 years old, was last seen on the 13th of November (Sunday) getting out of his friend's car and running off into bushland in a distressed state.
The apprentice bricklayer had appeared fine earlier during the day before something triggered him wanting to leave his friend's house. He was supposedly heading to Thornton railway station to see his brother. On the way to the station at around 8pm Zac asked his friend to stop the vehicle he then got out of the car and ran off near the intersection of Haussman Drive and Tripp close.
He has not been seen or heard from since, has not used social media, has no money or phone and failed to return to work Monday morning.
Zac is described as being of Caucasian appearance around 182-185cm tall with brown hair and brown eyes he also has a distinct tattoo on his right calf of a VB logo.
On Sunday, his
worried mother Karen Gudelj, and step-father Mick Gudelj, led a group of more
than 50 concerned friends and relatives to search an area surrounding the
Metford railway station. This search, like another police and SES-led search at
Thornton last November, did not find Zac.
Police conducted a search with a helicopter and multiple searches have been held by family, friends, the community and public. Zac was last seen wearing a blue singlet, shorts, and steel cap work boots. There have been numerous amounts of sightings reported around Australia in the 30 weeks of Zac's disappearance although none of them were Zac and were all investigated by police.
"None of the residents have seen him, he hasn't hitchhiked, he hasn't gotten on a train said his mother Karen". She also said "We don't know where he could be and we really don't know why or what kind of mental state he was in." Zac was well liked had lots of friend's and it was just unlike him to disappear. Also he had tremendous love for his family and siblings.
There have been lots of posts made on the 'Official Family Page - Find Zac Barnes' on Facebook questioning Zac's disappearance.
One person wrote..
Claiming that the people he was with prior possibly may know more information. Lot's of people also say that there is definitely someone who knows more but are covering it up/hiding the information they know.
I have also seen circulating comments and
posts of people claiming he may have been under the influence of drugs which we
do not know!! Nobody knows, Karen responded to the question "is there
drugs involved?" "I don't know" "Was he an addict?"
"No he wasn't but most likely experimented" "He did drink and he
did owe money but only a small amount."
I
know he would not just run off - the herald story
“I will never lose
hope, hope is always there but it is hard because I know my son, and I know he
would not have just run off,’’ Mrs Gudelj said..
“So I fear he is
being held against his will or has met with foul play or there has been an
accident.
“I don’t think he
could harm himself because he cared too much about what people thought.
“We had spoken about
suicide, in a broad sense, in the past and he was well aware of the grief that
it left behind.
“He even said to me
once: “I wouldn’t do that. Everyone would hate me”.
This is the Facebook page that
has over 20000 followers and is active every single day bringing awareness to
Zac's case and hopefully closer to bringing him home.
There is also a Go Fund
me Page - https://www.gofundme.com/7t3xd6-help-find-zac-barnes
"Police are working really hard to find Zac but we need
to create national awareness to help find him. The money raised will be used
get Zacs story out there by creating media and marketing exposure, tv
commercials , transport marketing, posters, banners. We need to keep Zac 's
face and story in the public eye. Someone out there knows what happened to Zac
and we need your help to find them."
