Ramon Howard John Mahu, known by family and friends as Ray, has not been seen or heard from since December 3.
The former New Zealand soldier, who grew up in Ngaruawāhia and Perth and attended Hamilton's Fraser High School, disappeared from his girlfriend's home in Perth earlier this month.
Ray, a father-of-three, messaged his brother around the time he vanished telling his brother he loved him. It wasn't unusual for his little brother to express affection and it didn't raise any red flags at the time.
Ray was deployed to Afghanistan for six months as a diesel mechanic and his brother said he had been friends with Corporal Douglas Hughes, who took his own life while in Afghanistan in 2012. "I think it might of affected him."
Ray is described by police as 182cm tall, of medium build, with brown skin and tattoos on his left arm, short black hair and brown eyes.
"He could be driving a silver 2002 model Nissan Pulsar hatchback, registration number 1BGZ696."
