The family of Nicola "Nick" Sallese has been living through what it describes as a nightmare ever since the devoted father and proud grandfather disappeared without a trace on November 17, 2008.
Despite searching more than 500 bodies of water across Tasmania, there has not been any sign of the 69-year-old or the silver 2006 Toyota Camry he was driving on the day he went missing in Sheffield, a town in the state's north.
