Detective Sergeant Lucy Aldridge said search and rescue teams will continue looking for him over the coming days, and will focus on the coastline between Godley Head and Pines Beach. 

“Unfortunately, yesterday’s search provided no positive outcomes.

“The terrain is steep rocky cliffs and dense bush, which makes it particularly challenging to search, so we are utilising the skills of experts to ensure the area has been thoroughly searched.

“We continue to follow all available lines of enquiry and thank those who have tried to assist us so far."

Marley can be seen wearing a light grey Adidas hoodie with white and black lettering, black shorts, black socks, and burgundy Converse shoes.

“We urge anyone in Scarborough who has CCTV/doorbell cameras to please check your footage from 2.50pm onwards on Friday," Aldridge said.
