Matthew Hibbard: A Disappearance in Colac

Hibbard, who regularly commutes between Colac and Melbourne via V/Line trains, was last seen at Footscray Railway Station on June 3. His disappearance is described as completely out of character raising serious concerns among his family and authorities.
Hibbard works at a Colac tobacco store and was last seen wearing black shoes, black tracksuit pants, an orange and navy zip-up jumper, and a black hooded jacket with the letters SCONS on the back. Police have released CCTV footage in the hope that someone may recognize him. Acting Detective Sergeant Matthew Evans emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting that Hibbard’s prescribed medication was not with him at the time of his disappearance.
The family of Matthew Hibbard has made an emotional plea for information. His sister, Nicole, expressed her concern over his absence, particularly noting that he had left his dog at home—a behavior highly unusual for him. The family is desperate for any leads that could bring Matthew home safely.
British Tourist: A Tragic End in Lima
In a tragic turn of events, the body of a 29-year-old British tourist has been found in Lima, Peru, after an extensive search operation. The man, who went missing on June 14, was last seen in the Miraflores district going for a run. Authorities believe he suffered a medical emergency during his run, leading to his untimely death.
CCTV footage helped piece together the tourist’s final movements, showing him heading towards the Miraflores boardwalk. Emergency services rushed to the scene after onlookers sounded the alarm, but tragically, the man passed away at the hospital. The discovery came just after the body of another Briton was found off the coast of Portugal, highlighting the risks faced by travelers.
