IT has been days since a missing hiker’s abandoned SUV was found on a beach, but there’s been no sign of him or his loyal dog.

Chris Palmer, 39, was visiting North Carolina’s Outer Banks when he vanished, and his family hasn’t heard from him in weeks.

His red 2017 Ford F-250 was found stuck on the beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore on January 12, the National Park Service said.

No one ever claimed the vehicle, and authorities in Arkansas, where Palmer is from, declared him a missing person on January 16.

“Palmer is believed to be traveling with his German shepherd and may still be in the area,” said the NPS in a statement shared Tuesday.

“While no additional details are available at this time, information from visitors can be critical to ongoing investigative efforts.”
