Description:
It has been four weeks since anyone has seen 19-year-old Leo Lipp-Neighbours after the Nelson student disappeared from his flat after a night out drinking.
Painstaking searches have turned up nothing, and hope is starting to fade.
The options are running out for the parents of Lipp-Neighbours.
"For us it's just a nightmare," says Charlotte Lipp, his mother.
They are looking for a needle in a haystack - their son and his distinctly coloured car.
"Every morning I wake up my first though is, Leo's not here, we have to find him," his mother says.

Known Circumstances:
Police in Nelson are asking rural property owners to check sheds and garages in the ongoing search for missing 19 year old Leo Lipp-Neighbours who has been missing since Sunday 24th January 2010.
He was last seen at about 4.00am that Sunday morning on Watson Street, Washington Valley, Nelson City alone in his distinctive orange Toyota Corolla station wagon, registration NQ7258 (pictured right). Neither Leo or his car have been seen since.
Police received a number of calls in relation to possible sightings of the car, which extended as far north as Devonport, Auckland and as far south as Punakaiki, West Coast, South Island. All of these reported sightings have been eliminated.
A huge part of the upper South Island has now been searched by air, road and foot. In addition to the Search and Rescue volunteers walking the main arterial routes, kayakers searched the Buller river which is very low and clear at the moment. No evidence was found of Mr Lipp-Neighbours car having entered the river.
Owners of vacant properties and rural land owners in the Nelson Bays and Marlborough areas are asked check any garages or farm sheds which haven't been visited since the 24th January.
