What do you miss when someone isn't there, what makes them unmissable? Is it their smell? Their touch? The sound of their voice? Or maybe it's the way they laugh?

For Tej Chitnis' loved ones, they miss everything about him.

Tej went missing without a trace from his Burwood East home on April 27, 2016. His family and friends still hold on to hope for his return or some information of him.

"Right now we don't know any more than what we knew almost a year ago," says Tej's father, Jayant Chitnis. "We haven't had a single sighting, or a single clue since his car was seen in Healesville on the day of his disappearance."
