Police are seeking information about two vehicles they believe may be connected with the disappearance of Darwin mum Angie Fuller who vanished from Alice Springs in January.
Ms Fuller was last seen pulling up at a truck stop north of the Red Centre capital, as dusk began to settle on the Central Australian desert at 6.40pm on January 9.
Twelve hours later her red Toyota Corolla was discovered abandoned on Tanami Rd — with no sign of the Darwin mum.
On Friday detectives requested help from the public with information about the movements of a 1986 Daihatsu Rocky and 1998 Nissan Pulsar sedan.
The Rocky is described as camouflage-coloured with the rear canopy removed and no registration plates while the Pulsar is silver and has NT registration plates.
Investigators say the vehicles’ current whereabouts are known to police, with detectives only interested in their movements between the day Ms Fuller went missing and January 12.
“These vehicles are believed to have been travelling on the Stuart Highway, north of Alice Springs and the Tanami Road, near the Stuart Highway turn off and possibly on dirt tracks in the area,” a spokeswoman said.
Fifteen days after Ms Fuller’s disappearance, NT Police Assistant Commissioner Michael White confirmed the case was being treated as a homicide investigation.
At the time, Mr White said Ms Fuller had disappeared after a two-vehicle incident on the Tanami Rd and investigators suspected a “third party intervention”.
He said a man known to Ms Fuller was a person of interest in the investigation, saying they were “together prior to her disappearance” at the truck stop.
In the days after her disappearance, a man claiming to be her boyfriend posted bizarre videos to social media saying the pair had been chased through the bush and shot at by a “gang”.
The Alice Springs man claimed he and his girlfriend fled into bushland and were separated, while dodging bullets.
By March, police were still yet to announce any arrests or any major updates.
“The matter is an ongoing investigation undertaken by the Crime Command, and at this stage, no further information is to be released,” a spokeswoman said at the time.
Ms Fuller was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and a beige skirt and is described as being of Asian appearance, about 165cm tall, with a medium build and long black hair with purple streaks.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, quoting reference number 10228143.
