'Sheer torment' as Amber-Lee Cruickshank's disappearance remains a mystery

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

The family of missing toddler Amber-Lee Cruickshank are frustrated they still don’t know what happened to her despite the offer of a $100,000 reward.

Police have received 75 phone calls and continue to pursue leads four months after posting the reward for new information.

However, they don’t yet have the answers the family desperately seek.

“The pain and anguish we all feel is unbearable, yet we keep on keeping on and living in hope that one day a miracle will happen, and we will have the answers we desperately seek ... I just want some closure," mum Nicky Cruickshank says.

The reward of up to $100,000 was for material information or evidence that led to the identity and conviction of any person or people responsible for Amber-Lee’s disappearance.

Immunity from prosecution may be considered for any accomplice, not being the main offender, who provided information or evidence.

Anyone with information should call police on 105 and use the reference Operation Oliver: 921030/2144.

Thinking of going duck hunting this year?

Te Tari Pūreke

Hi neighbours - to those of you taking part in the opening weekend of duck season, or beyond, the team at Te Tari Pūreke – Firearms Safety Authority hope you will stay safe. We’ve got some simple hints, tips and useful links on our hunter safety page.

Make this duck season a great one by following the seven rules of firearms safety. We urge duck hunters to treat every shotgun in the maimai as loaded, and to save the drinks until after firearms have been safely locked away for the day. Remember, it takes more than luck to bag a duck.
