Elliott is believed to be traveling in the car pictured, a dark gray 2004 Volvo, with a registration number starting with WFH.
It's been almost two weeks since 20-year-old Elliott from Skellefteå disappeared. On Tuesday, November 28, he drove north for unknown reasons. His cell phone was registered in the Jävre area that evening, but the trail went cold.
Elliott was reported missing the following Thursday, and since then an intensive search has been underway for him and his car - a dark gray Volvo S80 model year -04, in which he is believed to have been traveling. The car has a license plate that begins with WFH.
Both the police and Missing People have appealed for information, but progress has been slow. Last Friday, Johann Kristiansson of the Skellefteå police said:
– It feels like we're not making any progress. Ideally, we would like to get tips that help us move forward. We are waiting for a sighting, probably of a snow-covered car. Otherwise, it feels like we're just standing still.
The search continued over the weekend.
– There are a lot of volunteers who have helped, including friends and strangers, says Elliott's mother, Anna Larsson.
Searches have been conducted in Norrbotten, Västerbotten, and Finland.
– For example, Elliott's brother and a friend of his searched in Kemi and around Tornio, says Anna.
Martin Persson from Missing People mentions that a considerable number of roads were checked over the weekend.
– We from Missing People drove almost 600 kms on Saturday.
Other efforts have also been made over the past week.
– We have issued alerts, both in Sweden and via social media in Finland. We have been in contact with taxi companies, snowplows, hotels, basically anyone who could potentially find him or the car, says Persson.
Anna Larsson and the rest of Elliott's family appeal for assistance from the public.
Some tips have come in, but none have led anywhere.
– The tips we received were not accurate. Often it was someone who saw a car that turned out to be the wrong car. We have nothing to go on, says Persson.
On Sunday, relatives contacted snowmobile clubs all over northern Sweden.
– We need help from those who have snowmobiles or who are in the forest and can search along the sides of the roads. They are welcome to keep their eyes open and see if they spot the car, says Anna.
Persson also emphasizes the importance of looking through snowdrifts.
– If you see a snowdrift, please check to see if there could be a car in it.
