Police have once again called upon the public for support, asking anyone with information that may help their investigations to come forward.
Wagga man Andrew Bourke was camping with his friend Wayne Candish at Brungle on July 29, 2011, by the banks of the Tumut River.
The pair had been drinking, and fell asleep in Mr Bourke's ute when it reportedly rolled into the river just after midnight.
Mr Candish was able to escape to passenger's seat and swim to shore as the vehicle sunk, but sadly, Mr Bourke was not.
Numerous police searches and rescue crews scoured the area over the years, but Mr Bourke's body was never able to be found.
The Coroner ruled it likely that Mr Bourke died from either hypothermia or drowning.
Originally from Coolamon, the then 44-year-old was the youngest of 15 children, and was survived by his two children and wife.
A sample of his DNA and dental records are on record with the missing persons unit.
Anyone who may have seen something related to the incident, or who has any information of what may have happened, is urged to come forward to police, or to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
