Entrepreneur and adventurer Dick Smith has called on bosses to give workers time off so they can assist the search for a Sydney man missing for eight days in a national park near Oberon in central western NSW.
Sevak Simonian, 21, has not been seen since he left his parents’ home at Belrose in Sydney’s north about 8pm on October 20.
His parents reported him missing to police, and his friends then came forward saying he was headed to the Kanangra-Boyd National Park near Oberon.
His car was found in the Kanangra Walls Road car park on October 24.
Police on Wednesday said they believed Mr Simonian entered the park on October 21 but only had a day pack with him when he disappeared.
Mr Smith said he was alarmed when he discovered on Tuesday morning that Mr Simonian had still not been found.
