ACT police have named the bushwalker who has been missing for nine days in the Brindabella Ranges.
Don Hindle, 64, from Fadden, went for a five-hour run near Corin Dam without food or water and never returned.
Sergeant Trevor Coutts says the police will continue looking for him until Saturday.
"By Saturday we'll probably have another 40 SES volunteers and then we'll have a concentrated search on Saturday," he said.
"Then the search will be reassessed by policing management and myself."
Mr Hindle's family have released a statement saying it is unlikely he will be found alive and they have accepted he may never be found.
Sergeant Coutts says Mr Hindle faced harsh conditions on his first night in the open
"The weather on Sunday early during the day was quite nice and as I said he left in shorts and runners," he said.
"Then the weather deteriorated severely to virtually blizzard conditions by night so you know that's a prime example of what can happen to people."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope the outcome is good, but he has been missing for nine days and nights now.
Until next Time
