The parents of missing German backpacker Jan-Christian Bielenberg arrived from Germany yesterday.
They delivered a heart felt plea to their son at a press conference in Bunbury yesterday morning.
They both were hopeful their son would be found alive and well.
“He is alive … until there is proof of the opposite,” Mr Bielenberg said.
Jan-Christian constantly kept contact with them during his time in Australia.
The last time they spoke to their son was two days before his disappearance.
Senior Sergeant Gardiner said police were still hopeful the young tourist would be found alive and well.

A great white shark has been sighted circling a whale carcass near a popular Perth beach. Floating about six nautical miles west of Scarborough Beach, the carcass is believed to have attracted the shark, which was spotted on Sunday.
WA Department of Fisheries spokesman Tony Cappelluti said he was concerned the dead whale would float closer to the shoreline.
“While the carcass is a long way off any Perth beaches, it is important that boat users or divers are aware of the potential increased shark activity near the carcass,” Mr Cappelluti said.
“There has also been another shark sighting this morning at Strickland Bay on Rottnest Island, where warning signs were erected several days ago after sightings made during the week.”
