THE mother of a man missing since 2005 has renewed hope that her
son will be found after reports he was spotted in the Northern
Territory.
Actor Ashley Bindon was last seen in Rose Bay. His mother Jeni has
continued to search for him, distributing posters and flyers across the
country.
This week NSW Police renewed their search after a woman claimed she
saw Mr Bindon in Darwin shortly after he vanished.
Anyone with information should call 9550 8199 or 1800 333 000.
The mother of missing man Ashley Bindon will join police to appeal for
information as part of Missing Persons Week 2019.
Mr Bindon, aged 25 at the time of his disappearance, was last seen by a friend
in Rose Bay on the morning of Sunday 26 February 2005.
He was reported missing to police by his mother two days later when he could not
be located.
In January 2012,
police received information from a woman in the Northern Territory who
believe she saw Mr Bindon on a number of occasions in the Darwin suburbs of
Nightcliff and Palmerston in March 2005.
Investigators from Inner
West Police Area Command have conducted extensive inquiries; however, he has
never been located.
At the time of his
disappearance, Mr Bindon was described as being of Caucasian appearance with
a fair complexion, about 170cm tall, with brown hair, blue eyes. At the time
he was last seen by family, he was of medium build and had facial hair.
Inner West Police Area
Commander, Superintendent Julie Donohue, urged anyone with information about
Mr Bindon’s disappearance to come forward.
“It’s been nearly 14 years
since Ashely was reported missing – he would now be 39-years-old – and we
are still keen to hear from anyone who may be able to shed new light on the
investigation,” Supt Donohue said.
“Someone knows something,
and I urge you to contact police immediately, no matter how insignificant it
may seem.”
Ashley’s mother, Jeni
Bindon, said she has continued to search for him across Australia.
“As a mother you never
give up,” she said.
“It’s his 40th birthday on
Wednesday (7 August 2019) and it’s really hard not knowing where he is. I
miss him terribly.”
Anyone who has seen Mr
Bindon, or has information as to his whereabouts, is urged to contact Crime
Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
