These are the words Anna Houston uttered in between sobs as she revealed her last conversation with her brother Harry Houston a day before he was reported missing on October 30.

Ms Houston lives in Adelaide and was a frequent visitor to Whyalla.

She could not contain herself when appealing for information on Henry (Harry) Houston.

Recalling their last conversation she said he told her about the new washing machine he had bought and about his new vehicle.

Ms Houston said he was like a permanent star in her life and she was convinced something bad may have happened to him.

She said they spoke at least three times a week and he kept her updated on what he had for his meals and how he was coping with his back ache.

"He was excited about the washing machine because it was the first time he had bought something new for himself," Ms Houston said.

"He was 10 months older than me and we were very protective about each other.

"I am sure something bad must have happened to him because he would not have left his son alone for such a long time."

Ms Houston said Mr Houston was involved in an accident at work and had received about $135,000 as compensation.

She said he was prescribed morphine to deal with the pain and had to use a walking stick.

"We were supposed to meet on November 10 for his birthday and I had suggested that I would come down to see him," Ms Houston said.

"I have been talking to the investigating officers and I know that the file is open.

"What saddens me the most is that deep down I know that Harry is dead and I want to give him a good send off.

"It's been a long time and if police manage to find his remains it will be very good."

Ms Houston pleaded with anyone who has any information about Mr Houston to call the nearest police station.

She said his sudden disappearance has left her distraught and any updated details would give her some relief.
