The Northern Territory Police Force has increased the reward for information in relation to missing woman Angie Fuller to $500,000.

The new reward will now supersede the $250,000 reward that was announced in October of 2023.

Angie Fuller, who would now be 33, was last seen on the evening of Monday 9 January 2023, travelling on Tanami Road, 15kms west of the intersection at Stuart Highway.

She is described as of Asian heritage, around 165cm tall, medium build with long black hair. She was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and a beige skirt.

Multiple search areas were declared and after extensive efforts, Angie has never been located.

Detective Superintendent Drew Slape said “Sadly, Angie’s family have been deprived of answers for almost 3 years.

“The Major Crime Squad have been investigating Angie’s disappearance since 2023, and the circumstances surrounding her movements on 9 January remain suspicious.

“We know people have information about what happened to Angie, and there is now $500,000 available for anyone who provides information that results in our detectives locating her.

"The Northern Territory Police Force will not stop investigating until Angie is found, it is as simple as that.”

❤️ While Christmas can be a joyful time for many, we know it can also be tough, lonely, or overwhelming for others - and that’s okay.
If you’re finding this season hard, please remember you don’t have to go through it alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether it’s a trusted friend, family member, or a support service, help is available 💚

DASA staff were fortunate enough to attend the 2025 ATCA Conference E Tū Kahikatea – Standing Strong: Navigating Change & Building Resilience in Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa (Auckland, New Zealand) from 25-27 November.
During their trip, staff had the pleasure of visiting the Ngā Pou Tohutohu Auckland South Drug Treatment Program at Auckland South Corrections Facility, Orakei Marae, Auckland City Mission, Wings Trust Manu Wairua, Higher Ground Papa Taumata & Odyssey Auckland.

CEO Eloise Cole said, “what a powerful experience we had with the Māori and Pasifika peoples along with the Pakeha New Zealanders for so generously sharing their culture and ways of working in the AOD sector with us.”

To top off a great experience, the Aboriginal Outreach team were the recipients of the First Nations Award, celebrating the work and innovation in indigenous programs. Congratulations and great work to Brian, Michelle and Cleavon!

DASA would like to extend their sincerest thanks and gratitude to all teams involved who made this conference the absolute success it was. You are appreciated!
