Dylan Dickie’s family was immediately concerned when he didn’t come home on June 24. The Cessnock man, 19, has not been seen since he left his family home on a Yamaha 250 trail bike the night before. “He wasn’t one to stay away, we were worried straight away,” Mr Dickie’s mother Nicole said. “He hadn’t been online, none of his friends had heard from him. “He didn’t take his phone or licence.” A police search, which concluded Wednesday night, found the motorbike, a helmet and gloves in the Corrabare State Forest, near Congewai, about 20 kilometres south-west of Cessnock. Ms Dickie said her son had been riding motorbikes since he was five years old, but would never go out riding alone, or in that area. “I just don’t know what to think any more,” she said. “We are really worried and lost. “We have more questions than answers.” While the physical search has concluded, Central Hunter and Missing Persons Unit detectives will continue their investigations into Mr Dickie’s disappearance. Mr Dickie is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 175 centimetres tall, of slim build, with a fair complexion, blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing black track suit pants, a dark coloured hooded jacket, brown steel cap work boots and a black and white beanie. He was travelling on a 2014 blue Yamaha XT motorcycle with registration MNG-39. Ms Dickie pleaded for anyone with who may have seen her son to come forward to police. “Someone must have heard from him in that time,” she said. “It doesn’t matter how little the information is, if you bumped into him in the street or recognised him, please tell the police. Ms Dickie said she and Dylan’s father Damien just want their son to come home. “We are very worried about him,” she said. “Things aren’t the same without him. “It doesn’t matter where he’s been or what he’s done, we love him and we just want him to come home so we can hug him again.” Anyone with information about Dylan Dickie’s whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/
