The request follows more than a week of searching for Whanganui man Whetu Teaola Hansen focusing on a property at Linton near Palmerston North.
Police said on Friday they expect the search will run into the coming week, due the size of the property and number of buildings in it.
They are being helped by soldiers from nearby Linton Army Base.
Investigations are also being carried out in Whanganui to determine Mr Hansen's last movements.
Police said they want to thank the community for their patience and understanding over their prolonged presence at the property.
They said further help regarding Mr Hansen or his grey-primer coloured Ford ute would be appreciated.
