Amelia Toa Hausia was aged 17 when she disappeared in Canberra in 1992.
Hers remains one of eight missing person cases ACT Policing is actively investigating.
The lack of resolution or closure is one of the hardest aspects of a long-term missing person’s case.
- an ACT Policing spokesperson
During Missing Persons Week police are encouraging community support to help them reunite Amelia with her loved ones.
“Police will always maintain hope that this case and other missing person cases could come to a resolution if someone were to come forward with more information,” an ACT Policing spokesperson said.
“The lack of resolution or closure is one of the hardest aspects of a long-term missing person’s case and it’s something we know Amelia’s family has lived with since the day of her disappearance.
“We’re urging anyone who believes they have information regarding the disappearance of Amelia or any missing person to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
“Information can be provided anonymously.”
Amelia was last seen by her family at her home on December 17, 1992, the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre website reports.
“She was upset after a fight with her boyfriend,” the website says.
“The last sighting was at the Woden Plaza Shopping Centre on 22 December 1992.”
“Numerous reported sightings of Amelia have been made to police over the years since her disappearance, however no positive identification has been made.”
Police have also distributed an age progression photo of what they believe Amelia looks like today.
This year’s campaign message is ‘Missing persons leave frayed edges, Stay connected’.
It seeks to remind people of the importance of staying connected with family and friends and enhancing the support networks for those most at risk of going missing.
