The father went missing on 2 May with the last sighting of him made at 7:20am, as reported by Need To Know.
The Northumbria Police claim his last known location was the Roman Road area of South Shields, South Tyneside, Tyne and Wear.
Daryll was last seen wearing a South Shields FC t-shirt with dark coloured shorts, while carrying a water bottle.
It is believed that he could have been making his way down the coastal areas of the port town.
He is described as a white male, around 5ft 6in tall, of slim build, with short brown hair.
The latest search organised by family and friends is taking place today (13 May) at Marsden Grotto car park.
The search party, which is meeting at 6:30pm, are focusing their efforts on the Seaburn and Whitburn areas.
Olivia Wales, Daryll’s daughter, said: “Another day without you, Dad.
“You don’t understand how much we miss you and just want you to come home.
“Please just give us some kind of sign or help in the right direction.
“Then this nightmare can all be over.”
A spokesperson for the Northumbria Police said: “Extensive enquiries have been ongoing by Northumbria Police to locate Daryll, as officers and family members grow increasingly concerned.
“Anyone who knows where Daryll is should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or use the live chat and report forms on the Force’s website.
“For those unable to make contact via the above ways, call 101.”
