Tasmania Police are ‘reviewing’ the disappearance of long-term missing person Barry Calvert, who was last seen on 17 April 1963.

Barry was 25 at the time of his disappearance, and was a soldier in the Australian Army – based at the Paterson Barracks in Launceston.

He was about 175-180cm tall, of slim build, and of “fair complexion”.

Police say initial investigations suggested that Barry may have moved interstate and/or changed his name.

An age-progression image has been developed as part of the review into the disappearance of Barry, which depicts what he would look like today.

“A missing person case is never closed until the person is located – we hope that releasing this age-progression image may assist us in locating Barry,” said Sergeant John Delpero from the Tasmania Police Missing Persons Unit.
