The wife of a 79-year-old man with Alzheimer’s missing in dense bushland Sydney’s north for more than two days has made an emotional appeal for help.

Acting Superintendent Carlene Mahoney asked locals to check around their houses.
“We urge people in the area to look in their backyards, sheds, driveway and you may find Ron has taken shelter from the heat over the past few days,” she said.
“We’ve been searching for the last three days and we’re urging the public to search their areas and if you’re out on the trails please look out for Ronald.”
Police are also doorknocking local homes and asking people to check any CCTV they have.
A targeted SMS message has also been sent.
