It has been more than a week since Michael MacGregor was last seen. He was at the Rocky Lookout in Mt Holdsworth on July 31, at 12.20pm. Police said yesterday that they could not comment on the details of the search and rescue operation. The officer in charge of the search said police would release any new details or an update regarding the search for Macgregor just as soon as any become available. Meanwhile, a fundraiser has been started to support the search and rescue operation. The family of MacGregor have asked for food for the searching volunteers, such as snap lock bags, nuts, chips, apples, toilet rolls, coleslaw, ham, cheese and biscuits. Supplies for volunteers can be dropped at 18 Kippenberger St in east Masterton or Mt Holdsworth. Donations can also be made to bank account
