Any CCTV footage that might have captured Amber Haigh’s last movements was lost because it was a fortnight before she was reported missing, and days later before any vision was requested by police, the NSW supreme court has heard.

Prosecutors also argued in court that the vanished teenager was not reported missing by the father of her baby – the man now accused of her murder – until others raised concerns she had not been seen.
