Jennings is described as being of caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall, with a medium build, short brown receding hair and has a scar on his right hand.

He was last seen wearing prescription glasses, blue shirt, navy shorts, blue runners and a black/gold watch.

He was carrying a black backpack and a white tackle box.

Jennings is known to frequent the Central Coast, Cumberland, Sydney CBD and Sutherland Shire areas.

The alarm was reportedly raised when Jennings failed to return to a mental health facility.

Jennings was found not guilty of murdering Mr Vitale because he was in a drug-induced psychosis.

He was instead dealt with under mental health laws.

Jennings was back in court in 2013 when he admitted fleeing a psychiatric hospital and robbing a man he met on a bondage website.

He was jailed for a minimum of two-and-a-half years for that offence.
