Ms Janine Reeves, mother of missing 25 year old Bryan Maxted is appealing for her son to come home this Christmas.

Ms Reeves, a Berrimah, Northern Territory resident has not seen her son Bryan since he flew to Sydney on 28 September 2009.

It is believed he checked into a hotel at 'The Rocks' for three days, before extending his stay for a further three days. He never checked out and has been officially listed as missing ever since the alarm was raised on 5 October.

Ms Reeves says all she wants for Christmas is to know her son is safe and well and for him to please come home,

"I don't know what's happened, I just want to know Bryan is OK. I love him, he is my only child.

"I don't know why he went to Sydney. He is a Territory boy since the age of four.
But a big city like that, people can't simply disappear without someone seeing or knowing something." Ms Reeves said.

Ms Reeves has a message for Bryan to make contact and to come home,

"Bryan, I just need to know you are OK. Whatever you need, I will get it. If you have done something wrong, it doesn't matter, we can work it out. I love you, please come home."

25-year-old Bryan Maxted is described as of Caucasian appearance, 170 cm tall, medium build, fair complexion and light brown hair. He is interested in computers and computer games and worked in a technical shop in Berrimah prior to his disappearance.

Mr Maxted, or anyone knowing his whereabouts, is urged to contact Northern Territory Police on 131 444, or (0)8 8922 1522 if calling from interstate.
