Relief as missing man found

A BURLEIGH Heads man reported missing three days ago has been found.

An updated post on the Jaen Collective Instagram page shared the news with friends and family who had been desperately searching for the 26-year-old.

“*ATTENTION* Jon Baxter HAS BEEN FOUND! Thank you to everyone that has helped us during this time. MUCH LOVE,” it read.

The caption was displayed with a photo of Mr Baxter (right) surrounded by nine unidentified friends. Mr Baxter’s sister, Sam Dick, confirmed he had been found, but was too overwhelmed to give further details.

Police confirmed Mr Baxter had been found.

Nine News reported Mr Baxter was found in Lismore Hospital, saying he was bitten by a snake after a car crash.

The videographer and businessman disappeared on Tuesday after last being seen at the Varsity Lakes skate park.

From there he was to head to Fingal, but never arrived.

Miss Dick said it was out of character.

She said in the three years he had been running his company, Jaen Collective, he’d never missed a photo shoot, but this week had missed three.
