This month they've launched a Facebook page "Help Find Andrew" to try and encourage anyone with information on his disappearance to come forward.
Kiara White, Andrew's sister, said she always wanted to have a page for Andrew, and has seen similar ones for Janine Vaughan and other missing people over the years.
She said it's a great way to keep missing persons cases out there in the community and more importantly generate conversations between people, which may hold the missing link to the case.
Kiara said she's wanted a page on Facebook for Andrew for a while.
"I tried to do one when I was younger but it was quite hard to do, this time I've had a friend help me... he thought it would be a good idea for Andrew and his case.
"I've seen Janine (Vaughan's) and I follow it as well. There's lots of conversations on there and I think it's a way people can also connect."
ALSO MAKING NEWS:
Not only can people leave a message or information on Drew's page there is also a PO Box where people can post information to if they would prefer to remain anonymous, alternatively they can always call police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 000 333 with information.
Kiara said she just wants to find out where Andrew is and importantly keep him in the front of peoples minds and memories.
She said she has not given up hope of finding Andrew's remains and having those responsible for his death made accountable.
Kiara said she "also absolutely believes" there are people in Bathurst in NSW's Central Tablelands who know the truth, and know where Andrew is.
"Hands down there are people who know what happened," she said
Kiara is asking as many people as possible to like and share the page and of course if they know anything, no matter how small, to come forward to police, or contact her through the page.
She said the $750,000 reward announced by police two years ago still stands and said she hopes that's enough for someone to come forward.
The NSW Government announced the reward back in march 2018, for "information that leads to the recovery of Andrew Russell."
Andrew, then aged 23, was last seen leaving a home on Slim Street, Bathurst, about 8pm on Tuesday, June 2, 2009.
Andrew's page can be found at Help Find Andrew on Facebook. Or information on Andrew's case can be made to Crime Stoppers, anonymously if preferred, on 1800 333 000.
