00:07and community members have come together for one of the first of four rallies held across

00:25police.

00:26But they don't want to be forgotten in what they say has been months and years waiting

00:31for answers.

00:32Well we're supporting our own son but you know we're also supporting other family members

00:35as well, missing children, family.

00:40Everyone here is suffering that there's a loved one out there somewhere that's lost

00:46and we need to bring them home.

00:50These people aren't forgotten, you know we take, it's a priority for us when a person

00:54goes missing, you know we do our best endeavours to find them and the investigation stays open.
