85-Year-Old Man Missing in Alpine Region | Adelaide News
Description
An 85-year-old local hero, Jacobus Bakkum, is missing after leaving the Harrietville Hotel, and authorities are urgently searching for him. His silver Toyota Prado, license plate WBD-077, was spotted on security footage heading south-east of Mount Buffalo — then later possibly seen in Biggara, a significant distance away. His wife walked home, but he drove off alone. Police say foul play is not suspected, and he’s likely still driving. Despite extensive searches using helicopters and ground teams across Hotham Heights and Dinner Plain, he remains unlocated. The community is deeply concerned as they search for this beloved figure who was honored just last year for his contributions.
