$100K reward for information on missing toddler

Amber-Lee Cruickshank went missing at Kingston on the shores of Lake Wakatipu in 1992.

Police is today announcing a $100,000 reward for information that reveals what happened to missing toddler Amber-Lee Rose Cruickshank.

Amber-Lee was last seen on October 17, 1992, at a property in Cornwall Street, Kingston, on the shores of Lake Wakatipu south of Queenstown.

'While we don't know where she is or what happened, we believe she may have been the victim of foul play,” says Detective Inspector Stu Harvey.

'There is someone out there who holds the key to the truth.”

Amber-Lee and her family were staying at the Kingston address and a number of people were socialising there at the time she went missing.

'It has been nearly 29 years since she disappeared,” says Stu.

'We're hoping with the passing of time that someone will come forward with information that will finally provide both Amber-Lee's family and Police with answers.”

Significant enquiries have been conducted as part of the investigation into Amber-Lee's disappearance.

'We've gone to great lengths to explore different scenarios and investigation leads without success,” says Stu.

On May 5 this year Amber-Lee would have turned 31 years old.

'Her mother and family members have been left to worry and angst about what happened to this very young child for far too long. We want to bring them answers and closure.”

Police will pay a reward of up to $100,000 for material information or evidence which leads to the identity and conviction of any person or people responsible for Amber-Lee's disappearance.

The offer will remain in force for six months. The Commissioner of Police will determine the amount of the reward and will, if necessary, apportion payment where there is more than one claimant.

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

Anyone with information is asked to to contact Police via 105, quoting reference Operation Oliver: 921030/2144.
