A year on, police say “his fate remains unknown” and his case looks set to be referred to the coroner. Caroline Williams reports.
During his time in Auckland, Rolland went to the zoo, enjoyed nights out, worked at a popular bar, dabbled in modelling and, with friends, visited Piha on the rugged west coast.
Before his disappearance, Rolland expressed to his family that he wished to visit Piha again, and on March 6 last year, he did just that.
He has not been seen or heard from since.
“Each day we feel more and more worried and more helpless," his father Thierry Rolland tells Stuff.

This is a volunteer role quite like no other!
We are looking for awesome individuals or couples who would like to support a local family and act as a "GrandFriend". We have a waiting list of families all over NZ who would love nothing more than to connect with you.
GrandFriends is a little charity that combats big issues like isolation and loneliness.
We are the bridge that brings kiwis together from across the generations. By connecting families with GrandFriends, we provide a long lasting “people” solution to loneliness.
Using our years of experience we match like-minded GrandFriends, extending their support networks, so they can enjoy the special moments, share the load - all the while combating loneliness.
Our biggest need currently is in Auckland, the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Manuwatu, Wellington & Christchurch. However we welcome applications from all over the country - we will find a family for you - wherever you are!
You are welcome to apply as an individual - or if you wish to apply with your partner (husband/wife/significant other) as something that you can volunteer with together - that is also very much welcome and encouraged.

Around the country, the demand for property continues to outstrip supply, driving record median prices even higher. In Auckland - where an average house price of over $1m has seen it ranked the fourth least-affordable city in the world - some properties sit empty and unmaintained.
Last week I reported on some of Auckland's mysterious million dollar dumps, and I'm sure there are plenty more out there. If you live near an empty, derelict property and are curious about it, I'd love to hear from you - flick me an email at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz

"Awesome service from TK Revive.
Both Toka and Kim are such friendly and professional people. Kim’s correspondence was very precise and clear and Toka who does the work is one of the most hardest working people we’ve had working on our house, very professional, very high standard of work, no mess and the results speak for themselves. I don’t review anything normally, but I felt I had to on this occasion as our deck and front door steps look brand new again.
Thanks guys - Ian & Julie
These 3 chairs are in good condition and have never been left out in the weather. The seats are canvas and rather faded but still strong. We are moving and can't take them with us. Prepared to sell separately at $5 each or the 3 together for $10. Pick up is central Orewa. Phone 4265425.
This unit works well despite it's age and is great to preserve fruit and vegetables, especially for the kids healthy snacks rather than buying them. Comes with a manual. Pick up is central Orewa. Phone. 4265425.
This stove and light are great to have when there is a power cut. We used them all for camping many years ago and have used it just recently when we had the power off due to maintenance work on lines out on the road. Can cook on it or just use it for heating water. Comes with the small gas bottle … View moreThis stove and light are great to have when there is a power cut.
