Sharing for my beautiful friend and her family.
Please share on, the more that see Megan’s picture, the more chance there is of finding answers. It’s the longest time to grieve and not understand how they lost her and someone out there knows something!
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
It’s been five years since a commemorative oak tree at the National Arboretum was dedicated by the then AFP Commissioner, as a symbol of hope and strength for the families, friends, community of missing children and police officers who investigate their cases.
As the wind rustles through the leaves and the branches sway in the silence, we reflect and remember the missing children who have found their way home, those who have been victims of crime, and those who are still missing.
The family of missing teenager Megan Mulquiney made a special visit to the tree to commemorate International Missing Children’s Day and remember their beloved Megan.
Today, they share this heartfelt message:
"Nearly forty-two years without Megan. Nearly forty-two years without answers."
"Our family still waits, still hopes, and still believes somebody knows what happened to Megan Louise Mulquiney. Please — if you know something, no matter how small, speak up. We as a family will never give up."
Megan Mulquiney started work at 8.30am on 28 July, 1984 at Big W in the Woden Shopping Centre, Canberra. Megan was last seen at about 12.15pm after her shift ended, standing outside the western entrance of the plaza adjacent to Big W and the western car park. She was due to catch a bus home but never arrived.
Megan is one of the thousands of missing children that we remember today. If you have any information about what happened to any missing children, no matter how small you think it might be, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or https://crimestoppers.com.au/. Information can be provided anonymously.
