Police have revealed new details on the movements of a missing FIFO worker who failed to board a flight in Perth and instead took a cab to the beach.

The mysterious disappearance of Carter has left both family and law enforcement deeply concerned as efforts to locate him intensify. Despite being scheduled to board a flight, Carter never made it to the plane and has since vanished without a trace.

Bill O'Byrne travelled from Kelmscott to Perth Airport on December 6 but was missing by 2pm that same day after he did not make his flight to Karratha.

Authorities have pieced together his last known movements, revealing that Carter spent approximately an hour and a half at the airport before deciding to leave. At around 2:10 PM, he was seen departing in a taxi, heading towards Trigg Beach. This journey took him about 30 minutes, placing him near a surf club on West Coast Drive—a location spanning from South Trigg to Sorrento.

When last spotted, Carter was dressed in a black t-shirt, shorts, and black and white sneakers, and he carried a small backpack. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance have prompted serious concern for his well-being.

With his whereabouts still unknown, police and his family are urgently appealing to the public for any information that might lead to finding Carter. Anyone who may have seen him or has details that could aid in the search is encouraged to contact authorities immediately at 131 444.

His family and police have serious concerns about his welfare, and anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to immediately contact 131 444.
