FRESH FACES AND NEW HOPE FOR MISSING AUSTRALIANS

1 March 2010

The Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP, today launched Australia’s first poster featuring age-enhanced images of long-term missing persons, aiming to bring renewed hope to Australian families.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) National Missing Persons Coordination Centre (NMPCC) has produced the poster using forensic imaging techniques. It features age-enhanced images of six missing persons from five Australian states and territories and Mr O’Connor launched two billboards at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport today.

“This is the first time a poster featuring age-enhancement has been produced in Australia for this purpose,” Mr O’Connor said.
