Far North Queensland police have launched a fresh investigation following the emergence of a mysterious Instagram post from the account of Lamar Ahchee, who was reported missing last week.
Social Media Breakthrough in Missing Person Case
The Instagram activity, which appeared on Ahchee's account recently, represents the first digital trace of the missing Cairns man since his disappearance. Authorities are treating this development as significant in their ongoing search efforts.
"This social media activity has provided us with new avenues to explore," a police spokesperson confirmed. "We're following all leads and encourage anyone with information to come forward."
Community Response Intensifies
Local residents in the Cairns area have expressed both concern and hope following the online activity. Community search groups had been organised throughout the week, with volunteers combing areas around Ahchee's last known locations.
The Instagram post has sparked renewed vigour in the search efforts, with many hoping it indicates Ahchee is safe and may soon make contact with family or authorities.
Police Appeal for Information
Queensland Police have reiterated their appeal for public assistance, urging anyone who may have seen Lamar or has information about his whereabouts to contact Crime Stoppers immediately.
Investigators are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who may have had contact with Ahchee in the days leading up to his disappearance, or who might have insight into the recent Instagram activity.
This story is developing, and The Cairns Post will provide updates as more information becomes available.
