“Police are also still seeking to identify a black-coloured vehicle, likely a station wagon or SUV of interest,” Todd said.
“This is a vehicle of interest, captured on CCTV footage in the Moera area around the time Mr McKelvie was at Mason Street.”
He urged for anyone with information that could help identify the vehicle and the people onboard to contact police.
