Search continues for missing Waterford man
May 20, 2009
The parents of Sean Walsh, a 26-year-old biomedical engineer from Dungarvan in Co Waterford, who disappeared from his home in the Sydney suburb of Randwick on May 10, have joined the search for their son.
In Australia on a Working Holiday Visa, Sean’s housemates last saw him in the early hours of that morning, but since then, there has been no sign of him.
The only trail left behind were bits and pieces of personal possessions – his wallet, bank cards and phone were all found in his room. His passport has still not been found, but police have confirmed it has not been used to leave the country.
A dedicated website – www.seanwalshmissing.com – had also been set up and every mode of online message board used in the search for Sean.
Sean was wearing green board shorts and a green hoodie and T-shirt when he was last seen, and anyone who thinks they might have spotted Sean – or his white van on the night in question – are asked to call the Eastern Suburbs Detectives on (02) 9349 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

My prayers go out to both Sean and his family. Such a tragedy, I hope it will end well.
