Christmas campaign 2024 - #misssingyouthischristmas

The National Missing Persons Coordination Centre marked the Christmas 2024 holiday period by reaching out to the families of long-term missing persons for the #missingyouthischristmas campaign. This campaign raised awareness of the impacts for families whose loved one are missing, especially during the Christmas and New Year period. 

The families of four long-term missing persons, Daniel O’Meara, Jeffrey (Jeff) Mundy, Jason Mazurek and Luke Gourlay, provided heartfelt messages to let them know that they are always remembered, never to be forgotten, and will forever be loved and missed. 
 

“Daniel, we all love you and miss you. Wishing you are safe and well and we hope and pray you come home soon. Love Mum, Dad, Tania and Bruce xox”
- Family members of Daniel O’Meara
 

“Dear Jeff, there’s not a day that goes by that we don’t all think about you and hope that one day, you’ll just walk through the front door. Merry Christmas son, Love Mum, Dad and all the kids. Never forgotten.”
- Family member of Jeffrey Mundy
 

“For the past 20+ years there’s been an empty seat at our table on special occasions. This is a constant reminder that our family continues to search for answers. We’ll never give up hope”. 
- Rebekah, sister of Jason Mazurek
 

"Dear Luke, we miss you, we love you, the whole family misses you, please make contact”.
- Suzanne, family member of Luke Gourlay
