Nearly 30 years on since the disappearance of two-year-old Amber-Lee Cruickshank, her mother Nicola is welcoming the police's new offer of $100,000 for information that leads to a conviction.
On Tuesday police announced the reward for details that bring a conviction of anybody responsible for the toddler's disappearance. Amber-Lee was last seen on 17 October, 1992, in Kingston, on the shores of Lake Wakatipu.
Police believe she was the victim of foul play, but no-one has ever been held accountable.
"It's long overdue. We've waited a long time for this to happen, and just hope we get some answers from it," Nicola Cruickshank told Checkpoint.
