Mother's plea for lost son

A TERRITORY mother has made a heartfelt plea to her son to come home this Christmas.

Janine Reeves fought to hold back tears as she told the Northern Territory News yesterday that the only gift she wanted this festive season was to see her son again.

Her son, Bryan Maxted, 25, mysteriously fled Darwin for Sydney in September.

He did not tell anyone where he was going.

Several days later he sent his mother a text message on her mobile phone saying that he had gone away with a friend to "sort himself out".

He also asked her not to phone him. She has not heard from him since.

"I don't know what's happened - I don't want to think about what has happened," she said. "I just want to know Bryan is OK.

"I love him, he is my only child."

Ms Reeves, 52, from Berrimah in Darwin, said police, after looking at flight records and investigating further, were able to tell her that Mr Maxted had flown to Sydney on September 28 and checked into a hotel at The Rocks for three days.

Police believe he extended his stay for a further three days but he did not check out. Hotel staff raised the alarm when they found his personal belongings in the room on October 5.

"I don't know why he went to Sydney," his mother said. "He is a Territory boy since the age of four and he still lived with me.

"It's completely out of character for him to do this.

"That's why I know something has happened to him.

"But a big city like that, people can't simply disappear without someone seeing or knowing something."

The patient care assistant said she was concerned for her son because he had been battling depression for about four years.

Her message: "Bryan, I love you, please come home."

Mr Maxted, or anyone knowing his whereabouts, is urged to contact NT Police on 131 444 - or on (08) 8922 1522 from interstate.
