On Wednesday, a pre-recorded message from Coyle’s mother was played from a drone above the search zone.
“It’s mum here. The police and volunteers are looking for you,” she said.
“You’re not in any trouble. If you hear or see the drone, please walk towards it.”
Coyle has been described as “resourceful” and someone who loves spending time in the bush near his home.
That is where police, SES and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services have concentrated their efforts since the weekend.
“Hopefully (his mum’s) voice of comfort will draw him out from the bush,” Forrestfield Police officer-in-charge Brad Robinson said.
Coyle is known to explore the bush surrounding but usually returns.
“He’s had a lot of problems with mental health,” his brother, Conor Coyle, said.
“He has really struggled.”
Despite more than 50 boots on the ground, plus a drone equipped with thermal imaging and the message from mum, there has been no sign of Coyle.
The search will be scaled back and a nearby well will be drained on Thursday morning.
His heartbroken family continue to pray for answers.
“We will never give up, and we’ll always be here for him,” Coyle’s brother said.
“We really want him to come home.”
Police have asked locals to check their sheds and outbuildings for signs of the missing man.
Coyle is described as being 187cm tall with a slim build, short brown hair and green eyes.
