The search for missing Bulls man Stephen Walker was suspended yesterday.
Mr Walker, 25, was last seen at his Bulls home last Wednesday at 8.30pm. His farm motorbike was found near Apiti at 7.30am on Thursday.
There have been police and search and rescue teams with dogs at Apiti as well as an aerial search and one around his Bulls home.
"We are working closely with his family to ascertain his day-to-day patterns and what frame of mind he was in when he was last seen," a police spokesman said.
Mr Walker is the brother of Pete and Andy Walker, fan favourites on TV3's The Block NZ television show, which screened last year.
