Over the past fortnight, and after issuing a public appeal, officers have helped a ‘small number’ of home owners – fewer than ten – to search their properties within two kilometres of where the 20-year-old was last seen.
The police believe Mr Lynch may have sought shelter on private land on the night he went missing.
Detective Superintendent Stewart Gull, head of crime services for the States police, said that those searches had proved fruitless, but he urged the public to get in touch if they have any information or would like assistance searching their property.
Mr Lynch, a former Les Quennevais student, was last seen near Thistle Grove commercial estate at 2.17 am after getting out of a taxi near Carrefour Selous after a work Christmas party at the Merton Hotel. Only his belt, phone and wallet have been recovered.
