Big reward boost for info on woman missing in outback

A reward for information that leads to finding a woman who went missing in the outback three years ago has been doubled to $500,000, with police treating the case as a suspected homicide. 

Angie Fuller was last seen on January 9, 2023, driving on The Tanami Road, 15km west of the intersection at Stuart Highway near Alice Springs.

Police, drones, a helicopter, all-terrain vehicles and foot patrols scoured about 400 square kilometres for two weeks but found no trace of the 30-year-old mother of two.

Detective Superintendent Drew Slape said on Thursday the circumstances surrounding her movements on the day she disappeared 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," he said in a statement.

The new reward supersedes a $250,000 reward announced in October 2023.

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

Ms Fuller's red Toyota Corolla was found abandoned on The Tanami Road.

Following the suspension of search efforts police said they believed Ms Fuller went missing "because of third party intervention" and her disappearance was being treated as a homicide.

Police said they believed Ms Fuller was involved in an incident and dispute in which a vehicle was run off The Tanami Road in the early hours of January 10, 2023.

They spoke with a man who claimed to be her boyfriend in a rambling video posted on social media in the days after she went missing.

In the video, the man said the pair were run off the road then shot at by a gang before fleeing into the bush.

Police at the time said the man was a person of interest and the pair were together when Ms Fuller was last seen.
