Public appeal for man missing in Cairns

The search for a 51-year-old man missing from Cairns City since April 28 is continuing.

Edward Rooke was last at a Sheridan Street address around 10.30pm on March 25.

Police say he does not have a phone or car, and would be likely approaching members of the public for help.

His whereabouts is unknown; however, Edward is believed to be in the Cairns City or Smithfield areas, possibly in a park or other public area.

There are serious concerns for his welfare as he has a medical condition.

Edward is described as tanned in appearance, approximately 183cm tall with green eyes, brown-grey hair and a heavy set build.

Police urge anyone with information regarding his whereabouts within the last two months to come forward.

Investigations are continuing.
