THE WIFE of a missing bushwalker is pleading for the public’s help to find her husband as police investigate whether he was killed by drug dealers.

Warren Meyer, 57, disappeared near Healesville in March 2008 during a 10km walk in Mt Dom Dom.

Theories on his fate included that the Beaumaris man was accidentally killed by illegal deer shooters.

Now his wife Zee Meyer told the Leader that someone had tipped off police that her husband had stumbled across a marijuana crop and was killed by drug dealers.

Mrs Meyer said an anonymous caller told police last year that Mr Meyer’s body was concealed by earthmoving equipment and would never be found.

The family will hold a vigil at the Mount Dom Dom car park at 11am on Easter Sunday to mark seven years since he went missing.

The vigil is for family and friends but Mrs Meyer said anyone with information about the case was welcome to attend.

A reward of up to $100,000 is being offered by the family for the discovery of Mr Meyer’s remains.

Mrs Meyer said that a number of local people had already come forward with information about marijuana crops and illegal deer shooters in the Yarra Ranges National Park.

“Quite a few local people have had experiences in relation to marijuana crops in the area and sometimes the confrontations have been quite significant,” Mrs Meyer told the Leader.

“One person I have spoken to says he was knocked unconscious and has hearing damage to this day.”

Mrs Meyer said she was desperate for new information about her husband’s disappearance.

“We do not have answers after seven years, and we never thought we would get significant information,” she said.

Anybody with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
