Raymond Terrace, Friday 30 May 2025 — Police have launched an urgent appeal to help locate 13-year-old Kieren Nean, who has been missing from the Hunter region for more than two weeks.

Kieren was last seen around 12pm on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, on Cook Street in Raymond Terrace. He has not been seen or heard from since.
Police were contacted yesterday (Thursday, 30 May) after efforts to locate Kieren failed, prompting Newcastle Police District officers to launch a full investigation into his disappearance.
There are serious concerns for Kieren’s welfare due to his young age.
Kieren is described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance, about 165cm tall, with a thin build and brown hair. He is known to frequent both Raymond Terrace and Newcastle.
Anyone who sees Kieren or has information on his whereabouts is urged to call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
