Prosecutors are offering protection to anyone who can provide valuable information on what happened to missing Melbourne schoolgirl Siriyakorn "Bung" Siriboon.
Bung has been missing for 10 years and despite several potential leads, investigators still don't know what happened to her.
The 13-year-old went missing somewhere on the walk between her Boronia home and school on June 2, 2011.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Justin Tippett said thousands of pieces of information had been sifted through and every week investigators still receive phone calls.
"Ten years is a long time to go without answers and I'm sure the loss of Bung feels as raw today as it did in 2011," Senior Constable Tippett said.
"On today's anniversary, our thoughts are with Bung's family especially her mother Nid, father Fred and sister.
"We continue to encourage people to come forward with new information that may assist police.
"We have never given up hope that one day we will be able to find out exactly what happened to Bung that day."

Bung left her home in Elsie Street in Boronia around 8.30am that day.
She was last seen by a neighbour walking towards Alberts Avenue, but never arrived at school and has not been seen or heard from since.
In 2014, detectives announced a $1 million reward for information leading to catching the person responsible for Bung's disappearance.
Now, the Department of Public Prosecutions is considering granting indemnification from prosecution to anyone who reveals whoever is responsible.

"As history has shown, often those involved in a crime of this nature are unable to keep it secret so we are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have specific knowledge of the person involved," Senior Constable Tippett said.
So far, potential reported sightings haven't eventuated.
One report in 2016 said a white Kingswood station wagon was seen on the morning of Bung's disappearance and may have had a young female passenger, but police have never been able to confirm a connection.
