Mr Evans was last seen on Tuesday night at his home on Reillys Road.
Airwing, Dog Squad and mounted police scoured the surrounding area on Friday in their efforts to find Mr Evans.
Police and family hold serious concerns for the 79-year-old's welfare, because his disappearance is out of character and he has dementia.
Inspector Troy Hargadon said police believed Mr Evans' disappearance was misadventure, rather than suspicious.
