Elliott has been missing since November 28 last year.

As moose hunting season begins, Martin Persson is urging hunters to be on the lookout for a gray 2004 Volvo S80 with a license plate starting with 'WFH.' Despite exhaustive searches involving berry pickers and public volunteers, Elliott remains missing.

– We've exhausted every search avenue imaginable. I've never seen such a massive search effort. Even berry-picking companies have become involved, asking their workers to keep an eye out.But hunters cover slightly different areas of the forest, venturing deeper in, Persson explains.

– That's why we're appealing to them now.

– His phone last pinged in Jävre on the night he vanished, Persson explains.

– We've searched extensively, but found nothing. Hunters might spot the car in a ditch or near water, he suggests.

– It's a heavy front-wheel-drive vehicle, so unlikely to be deep in the forest, but you never know.
