The devastated family of Nazrawi “Naz” Samson Woldemichael has made a heartfelt plea for the Hobart man’s safe return.

The 19-year-old hasn’t been seen since leaving his unit at Trinity House at North Hobart on October 9 about 8am.

Nazrawi Samson Woldemichael has not bee seen since Sunday, October 9.

Police believe he may think he is in trouble because of the attention his disappearance has caused but stress he has nothing to fear.

His mother Hirut begged anyone with information to come forward.

“I am worried that something happened to you, please come home, you are not in trouble,” she said through tears.

“If anyone saw him or anyone knows anything, if you just tell me he is alive — I don’t want to lose my son.”

His family last spoke to him on September 22 but said there was nothing unusual about his mood. Mr Woldemichael suffered serious injuries in a road crash in 2014, which his mother thinks may be affecting him.

Police have few leads on what might have happened to the University of Tasmania arts student.

“At this stage we have such little information on Naz and the days leading up this disappearance, so we’re just really trying to have any friends or family that may know or may have seen him to come forward,” Sergeant Louise O’Connor said.

She said he was in “no trouble at all” and they were just seeking confirmation he was “alive and well”.

Police confirmed his bank and social media accounts had not been active since his disappearance.

Mr Woldemichael is about 170cm tall, and thin, with curly short black hair. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the Hobart Police Station on 6230 2111.
