His sister, Joanne, said: “Police have confirmed that Euan was last sighted one hour after he went missing on Wednesday, March 4, at 10.23am at Coles on Bay Street, Port Melbourne and purchased a bottle of water and a cooler bag.

“He used his phone to make this purchase, via mobile app, and this was the last transaction made on his account.
