Police investigating the disappearance of Frenchman Pierre-Antoine Paludet in Hawke's Bay have visited some addresses in search of information that might help find the missing man.
The visits were revealed in a police media release yesterday, but there was no indication whether the addresses, visited on Wednesday night and yesterday, were in Hawke's Bay or whether there was any more specific reason for some addresses to be visited.
Police had previously been trying to establish how long the 32-year-old had been in Hawke's Bay, although it appeared he had arrived at Haumoana on January 10 and parked near the river mouth.
He appeared to have been sleeping in his station wagon, and the last reported sighting of him was near the vehicle on the evening of January 12.
Police said inquiries were also being made outside Hawke's Bay to establish more about Mr Paludet's movements over the last two months on what is thought to have been his second visit to New Zealand in the last year.
An aerial search of the sea off the Hawke's Bay coast and north of Haumoana is being considered for the weekend if there is no sign of the missing man.
