Alice Springs mum Angie Lee Fuller set to feature in AFP’s ‘Always Searching’ campaign

Alice Springs mum Angie Lee Fuller was last seen 18 months ago, never to be seen or heard from again. Her story is one of hundreds police are putting a spotlight on this National Missing Persons Week.

Angie Fuller was last seen running off into the bush and was never seen or heard from again.

Alice Springs mum Angie Lee Fuller was last seen running into the bush with her boyfriend more than 18 months ago, never to be seen or heard from again.

On January 9, 2023, the mother of two was driving her with her partner along the Tanami Road in her maroon Toyota Corolla when they became involved in an incident with another vehicle.

The Corolla veered off the road before the couple then ran off into the surrounding bushland without a trace.

Ms Fuller was the last Territorian to be entered into the Australian Federal Police’s (AFP) missing persons database, with more than 40 Territorians before her that remain outstanding.

Ahead of National Missing Persons Week 2024, the AFP have launched its ‘Always Searching’ campaign, which aims to platform the huge number of missing women from around the country.

There is a $250,000 reward attached to finding Angie Fuller.

Ms Fuller’s case was picked by campaign organisers with a view to shed light on the prevalence of disappearing women.

AFP Commander Forensics Joanne Cameron said she hoped members of the public would be encouraged to report details to the police.

“The Always Searching campaign is an important reminder to members of the public to report any information to police, because no matter how small the detail may be, it could be the missing piece of the puzzle that brings peace to the family of a missing person,” Commander Cameron said.

“With the important ongoing conversation and public focus on combating violence against women, the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre has chosen these cases to remind the public that the police are committed to following every lead to bring justice for the families of missing loved ones.”

In Australia, authorities define a missing person as anyone who is reported missing to police, whose whereabouts is unknown, and where there are fears for the safety, or concern for the welfare, of that person.

A long-term missing person is someone who has been missing for more than three months.

Commander Cameron said police were committed to resolve the growing cases of missing persons.

“Police from around Australia work tirelessly to resolve these cases and find missing people,” she said.

“I encourage anyone who may have information about a missing person to share it via Crime Stoppers, either on their website or by calling 1800 333 000.

“This can be anonymous.”
