"Leslie Keating, 63, was last seen at a property on Ramornie Station Rd, Ramornie, about 25 kilometres northwest of Grafton, on October 20.
His disappearance was reported to police on November 12."

"Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen Leslie in the vicinity of Ramornie Station Rd or the Gwydir Hwy around 2.30pm on Friday (October 20)"

"Keating is described as caucasian in appearance, with brown eyes, 160 to 170 centimetres tall, with a thin build. He had scruffy brown hair and a beard when he was last seen.
Mr Keating was last seen wearing a dark blue flannelette shirt, with camouflage pyjama trousers and black boots."


Leslie has been missing for over 3 months now.
Unclear circumstances of his disappearance and I can't find out anywhere why he was reported missing so late.
Very little info available/released.
He has a daughter, Storm Keating, who is desperate to find him.
She seems to be very active and continuing to ask for the public's help, after police and SES searches have failed to find Leslie.
My heart breaks for her, especially because the case is getting very little media coverage, whilst others (see Samantha Murphy's case) are constantly on the news.

I found a more recent update and the police think he may have got hit by a car. This case definately needs more media coverage, I feel for the daughter not having answers for nearly 6 months.

Australia - Coles worker goes missing in Melbourne, Reservoir missing for 10 days

Another missing person case I posted about not getting enough media attention, hes been missing for over 2 weeks and at the time of posting, only one news article.
