It’s now been six days since the 21-year-old was seen but his family is not giving up hope.

During today’s search efforts, a thermal imaging drone sent a recorded message over the Perth Hills with a desperate plea from a mother to her missing son.

“It’s Mum here, the police and volunteers are out looking for you, you’re not in any trouble,” she reassured Finn.

“If you hear this or see the drone, can you walk towards it.”

The talking technology is a new police tactic in the search for missing people like Finn.

“We’re just searching desperately hoping that, that we can find him and bring him and bring him back,” brother Conor Coyle said.

“It’s like unimaginably, yeah, nightmarish.”

The 21-year-old with autism and mental health struggles was last seen six days ago at his family home in Carmel.

Today almost 50 officers, SES volunteers and family members were combing the Perth Hills bushland for any sight of him.

“It’s not unusual for him to frequent the bush, but he’s never not come home,” Conor said.

“We’ll always be here for him and we really want him to come home.”

Authorities are following multiple leads from the public, including all the way in Jurien Bay, 220 kilometres north of Perth.

“All information is really good, and will be analysed by the teams here and exhausted in one way or another,” WA Police Force Senior Sergeant Brad Robinson said.

But Finn’s family say he couldn’t have gone far with an injured foot and all he had were the clothes on his back.

The search will resume tomorrow morning, on a smaller scale.
