The Waitakere mayor is joining the voices of those bewildered by the disappearance of Aisling Symes.
Bob Harvey has been amongst those searching for the two-year-old since she went missing in Henderson on Monday night .
He says the city council has provided detailed, large, house-by-house maps for police and searchers.
He says they have gradually been shaded as door by door, shed by shed, drain by drain and tree by tree each property has been searched.
Harvey says it seems inconceivable the increasingly sinister undertone to Aisling's disappearance could happen in his city.
He is describing the unexplained disappearance as gutwrenching for his city.
Police are increasingly questioning whether she's been abducted.
Harvey says the search for Aisling has been the most thorough possible, and the fact she hasn't yet been found is heartbreaking.
He has driven the streets, spoken to people and says the bewilderment and sadness is apparent because everybody thought Aisling's disappearance would be resolved by now.
New Zealand's biggest Chinese website is upping it's coverage of the case also.
Police are still appealing for an Asian woman seen speaking to the missing toddler just before she disappeared to come forward.
The Chief Editor of Chinese website Skykiwi-dot-com, Dorothy Li, says because the missing girl is not Asian or Chinese, the case has not raised much attention in the Chinese community.
But she says after being contacted by mainstream media about the case, she is trying to change that on the website and has put new a post on its forum.
Li says she has asked skykiwi's audience to either call her office or police if they have any information about Aisling or the Asian woman police want to speak to.
