Nearly 20 years after a young NSW mother went missing, police are offering a $1million reward for useful information about her suspicious disappearance.
Amber Haigh and her six-month-old son had been living in Kingsvale, a town in the South West Slopes region, with a married couple when she vanished on June 5, 2002.
Amber Haigh disappeared on June 5, 2002 after she was dropped off at Campbelltown station on her way to see her sick father in hospital and was reported missing two weeks later
The couple said they dropped the 19-year-old at Campbelltown train station so she could visit her sick father in hospital in Mt Druitt, in Sydney’s west.
Later that night, money was withdrawn from her bank account.
The couple reported her missing on June 19.
In 2011, a Coroner found Ms Haigh had been murdered, or died of misadventure in early June 2002.
Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty renewed calls for help from the public on Tuesday as he announced the reward for information about her disappearance had increased from $100,000.
‘Amber’s disappearance and suspected death robbed a young boy of a mother’s presence in his life, and nobody has ever been held accountable for that,’ Det Supt Doherty said in a statement.
In 2011, a coroner found the 19-year-old had been murdered, or died of misadventure. Police revealed the increased reward hoping the public can help solve the two decade old mystery
