Christopher James Bates. Police are asking for help from the Central Otago and Dunedin community as they enter the third day of the search for missing Alexandra man Christopher Bates. They have also searched the banks of the Clutha River from Alexandra to the Roxburgh Dam. They were also being asked to contact police if they noticed anything unusual in river or hill areas around Alexandra. Mr Bates was thought to be on foot, but it was possible he could have used public transport to travel out of Alexandra, Snr Const Gibson said.
