Six years after the murder of Tasmanian man Shane Barker police are still trying to track down a vehicle that was captured on CCTV, which could lead to his killer.

The 36-year-old was murdered at his home in Campbell Town, about halfway between Hobart and Launceston, on August 2, 2009, and Detective Inspector John King said there are outstanding leads about which police need more information.

An unidentified man seen talking to Mr Barker on the morning of his death was later captured on CCTV driving a white Toyota HiLux dual cab, 1997 to 2005 model, fitted with a white canopy, through the town's main street. Police want to speak with the man.
