In a rare move, the Family Court of Australia has issued a Publication Order enabling the release of information about an international parental child abduction that has taken place in breach of a Family Court order.

Andrew Thompson, now aged four, was illegally abducted by his mother Melinda Thompson (nee Stratton) from Australia in April this year when Andrew was aged 3 ½ .

They boarded a Singapore Airlines flight in Sydney and flew to Singapore before continuing on and disembarking in Frankfurt, Germany. They were ‘a no show’ on a booked return flight to Australia and have since disappeared. Melinda’s family has told the Australian Federal Police that they have no idea of her whereabouts.

The Court issued the Publication Order due to grave concerns for Andrew’s emotional and physical well-being .The abduction took place shortly after a report by an independent psychiatrist was provided to the Court. Concerns are held for the mother’s emotional state and the child’s safety.

The Australian Government and others have conducted an international search for the last seven months. Interpol has issued international alerts for Andrew in 187 countries. The provisions of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abductions have also been activated.

Andrew and Melinda Thompson are Australian Citizens, travelling on Australian Passports.

Andrew’s father said, “The Family Court of Australia took the unusual step of issuing a Publication Order because of the extremely high level of concern for Andrew’s safety and the absence of any information about his whereabouts for more than seven months”.

“The emotional effects of international parental child abduction are known to be severe and life-long. Andrew needs to be reunited with his family, his friends, his home, and his culture,” Andrew’s father said today. “I am appealing to the media to raise public awareness in Australia and overseas about his disappearance so that he can be found and returned home as quickly as possible” he said.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Andrew and Melinda is able to contact the Australian Federal Police on (02) 6126 7777.

For further information or to arrange an interview with Andrew’s father, contact: Robin Bowles 0418-102-732.

Hello Nicole. It has been 12 months since you published details surrounding the discovery of skeletal remains located at Iluka on the far north coast of New South Wales in 2003. I am very appreciative to you for doing so. Unfortunately I am no closer to solving this mystery and again request visitors to your site to view your presentation. The remains could be of someones son, brother, father, uncle etc. Thank you for your assistance and the service you provide to those who are looking for the vanished.

This is the design that would have been printed on the front of the t shirt, only in white or possibly silver?

The remains were found in 2003 but could have been there for at least 12 months prior to that. Are you missing a young man from approx. 2002 onwards? Do these clothes look familiar? He might have come from any state, not just NSW.

He wore size 35/89cm jeans and we believe he was wearing the shorts under the jeans - does that ring a bell? Plus an Ecko Unlimited shirt. Note - this wasn't an official shirt, he may have bought it at the markets?

Anyone with information that might assist investigating officers should contact Coffs/Clarence Local Area Command on 02 6642 0222 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

New clues to help ID mystery skeleton

POLICE have not given up on their search to identify the bones of a mystery man found in Iluka five years ago. Detectives from Grafton have renewed their appeal for information by releasing photos of the clothing found on the body.

"All local inquiries and those involving the Missing Person Unit to date, have been exhausted and we hope this appeal will lead to new information and possibly provide closure for the family and friends of a missing person," Detective Senior Constable Grahame Burke said. When the body was found the man was wearing a pair of Levis stonewash denim jeans (size 35), blue Quiksilver shorts, and an 'Ecko Unlimited' brand shirt.

"It's a pretty identifiable shirt so I'm hoping it might jog a person's memory," Detective Burke said.

Police do not suspect the mystery man was from this area, so they have released the photos nationally in the hope that friends or relatives of a missing person may recognise the clothing.

"There are one or two internet sites dedicated to missing persons and I'm hoping they will also publish the photos," he said.

The bones were discovered by Landcare workers inside the Iluka Rainforest Nature Reserve in August, 2003. Detective Burke said since then the bones had been sent to the United States where forensic testing determined the remains to be that of a male aged somewhere between 18 and 50 years. DNA samples have also been taken.

Detective Burke said if a family member of the missing man does identify the clothing they can use the DNA sample to confirm a match.

"We've got to use every means at our disposal to give closure to a family out there who is missing a loved one," he said.

Wanted for questioning in relation to the MURDER of Kristy Scholes and the disappearance of his cousin Lateesha Nolan. Malcolm has been on the run for almost four years and is currently number one on the NSW Police Missing Persons List. There is a $50,000 reward on offer from the NSW Government for inforamtion leading to the capture of Malcolm Naden. Click his name for my comprehensive history into the manhunt for Malcolm.

Malcolm, it's been too long, you know you can't run forever. Nan will be looking down on you from heaven with tears in her eyes. She loved you so much, you know that. What do you think this is doing to Pop? He's already very sick, and he worries every day about you.

It's time to end this. It's time to go back and turn yourself in and tell someone what happened to Lateesha. It might not have been your fault. There are people who can help you, but you need to go back and tell the truth. We need to hear your side of the story. You know their voices in your head won't stop until you go back and tell the truth. Tell us where Lateesha is.

Someone out there knows where Malcolm is. Someone also knows what happened to Lateesha. We need to find her, to bring her home so her children know what happened to their Mum, so her parents can finally start to grieve for their little girl.

I know that these words may very possibly be read by the people helping hide Malcolm so I send you this appeal – if this was your daughter, lying out there in the bush somewhere, how would you feel? If this was your sister? Your mother?

Can you imagine how these children felt this Christmas, with all their friends celebrating with their parents – there are four young children were only crying on Christmas Day, missing their Mum, wondering why she’s not there. Do you want them to go through another Christmas this way? Instead of happiness and Santa and presents, they will be thinking about January 4^th and marking 5 years without their Mum. Don’t let this go on a minute longer. Make that call TODAY.

Detective Senior Constable Shane Conant of the NSW Police Homicide Squad is ready and willing to listen to anyone with definite information about Malcolm Naden's current whereabouts. I know that you might feel scared about contacting Police but I am vouching for Shane, he WILL listen to you and WILL help you.

You can also ring Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000 and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You CAN also claim the $50,000 reward for locating Malcolm Naden and STILL remain anonymous!

If you really don’t want to call Police then you can call me instead – 0438 900 861 - Nicole - BUT be aware that I do pass along everything to Police - I am not trained nor qualified to investigate any matter myself and I never encourage vigilante actions of any kind. I have always fully supported Police in every state in Australia and I am confident that they are doing everything they possibly can to locate Malcolm and find out what happened to Lateesha. I know that making that call to Police can be frightening to imagine but they will help you and protect you.

Think about that for a moment. If someone has reported you missing then you are loved and missed by someone, and that someone really needs to know whether you are alive or dead. You don't have to go home, but you can at least tell someone you are okay. You can go to or call any police station and report simply that you are alive and well, or if you don't want to contact the police you can talk to me -

But please be aware that I do report everything to Police, I am not an investigator.

If you have been reported missing to Police then you will need to be sighted by a Police Officer in person in order to be removed from their missing files, they need to make 100% sure you are safe and well.

The police definition for a missing person is “anyone whose whereabouts is unknown and there are fears for the safety and welfare of that person”.

35,000 people are reported missing in Australia each year – one every 15 minutes.

99.5 per cent of people are located – 85 per cent within a week of being reported missing.

At present, there are 1,600 long-term missing persons i.e. persons who have been missing for more than one year.

Approximately two-thirds of missing persons are under the age of 18 (i.e. 20,000).

The three at risk groups of going missing are: people suffering from a mental illness; youth; and the aged.

People go missing for a variety of reasons – both voluntarily or involuntarily.

Australia has no national Police database for Missing Persons. This means if someone goes missing in one state but travels over the border into another state it can be very difficult to track and locate them. The aim of this website is to gather as many missing persons files as I can and present them in order to spread information throughout the country.

Tasmania and Victoria don't have Police Missing Persons websites at all. I hope to fill a need with this site and get information out there to help find these people. Police in every state of Australia do an outstanding job but they are often lacking in resources and personnel - as the public we need to help them wherever we can.

Locating a missing person, whether alive or deceased, is extremely important to that person's friends and family. I welcome submissions from families of the missing, I will include your story no matter how long they have been missing.

If your loved one went missing of their own accord it's quite possible they will do an internet search on their own name, to see who might be looking for them. If that happens, they WILL find themselves on this website. For this reason, I also encourage families to send a personal message to that loved one via this website. It just might bring them home. To do this, just e mail me whatever you'd like to say.

My pledge to you, the families and friends of the missing, is that your loved one will never be forgotten. I'll never stop looking for them.

In the main section I only include missing persons cases that have been reported to the Police officially**. My information comes from official Police Media Releases and official Missing Persons and Police websites and media reports. **At my discretion I may also include other cases where attempts have been made to report the cases to Police but for various reasons the case is not currently being investigated (an example may be a person believed to be homeless, Police located the person who indicated they did not want contact with their family, but I will include them as the family has not given up on finding the person; the person needs to know they have a loving home to return to).

*I DO NOW HAVE A FAMILY TRACING SECTION AND IN THIS SECTION I DO PROVIDE LIMITED HELP TO LOCATE PEOPLE I HAVE HAD A FEW SUCCESSES NOW AND I REFER MOST CASES ON TO MY FAMILY TRACER, APRIL, WHO DOES A WONDERFUL JOB! All work is done without charge!

If you have information about the whereabouts of any of the persons featured on my site please call one of the official phone numbers listed on every page. In some cases, the number of the originating police station where the report was lodged will be listed and they may be contacted. I understand that contacting a police department may be overwhelming and frightening for a missing person, so I can be contacted on the above e mail address if you wish to use me as an intermediary between you and the Police or Missing Persons departments HOWEVER I have an obligation to pass along that information to the agencies that you are alive and well. Please remember that calls to Crimestoppers can be made anonymously if you wish.

I will NEVER publish anything that compromises an ongoing police investigation. If requested by a police department not to publish certain information, I will always abide by that. My aim with this site is not entertainment, it is location of the missing. If you are a law enforcement official and you see something on the website that you feel may compromise an investigation then please contact me immediately and I will remove it.

No copyright infringement is intended. I try to give credit to every news source where I have obtained information wherever possible and if I have not I sincerely apologise and hope the authors will understand that the sole aim of using the info is to help find missing persons and no profit is EVER obtained. Most of the information contained is from official Police Media Releases, newspaper reports which have also originally come from Police, plus a great deal of information and photos have come directly from the family and friends of the missing themselves.

With relation to the above, if a media release has been issued regarding a missing person, and the issuing police department fails to issue an updated release regarding whether or not that person has been located, I cannot be held responsible for the missing persons details being on the website after they have been located. It is my priority to remove located missing persons as soon as possible after I am informed they have been located.
