Police Scotland said Mr Drostle is also believed to have been seen in the Anagach Woods area in Grantown at about 3pm on Christmas Eve.
Inspector Ross McCartney of Police Scotland said: “Concern for Marc’s wellbeing continues to grow and we are appealing to anyone with any information on where he may be to come forward.
“We also ask people to check gardens, sheds and outbuildings in case he has sought shelter.”
