Police have increased a reward for information into the murders of three children from Bowraville in the 1990s to $1 million.
Colleen Walker-Craig was aged just 16 when she was last seen at a party in Bowraville on Thursday 13 September 1990.
Her family reported her missing the following day, and her weighted down clothes were later found in the Nambucca River.
Her body has never been found.
Her four-year-old cousin, Evelyn Greenup, disappeared after being put to bed at her grandmother’s Bowraville home on Thursday 4 October 1990.
Her remains were found in bushland near Congarinni Road on Saturday 21 April 1991.
Clinton Speedy-Duroux was also aged 16 when he disappeared after a party at Bowraville on Thursday 31 January 1991.
His remains were located in bushland near Congarinni Road on Monday 18 February 1991.
The murders were originally investigated separately before being linked by the Homicide Squad under Strike Force Ancud, and despite a man being charged on separate occasions over two of the children’s murders, he was acquitted.
The matter was heard at the High Court of Australia, but the application was refused.
The children’s families have since been advised that the investigation will undergo a formal review by the Unsolved Homicide Unit, but fresh information will be required to complement the exhaustive inquiries previously conducted by Strike Force Ancud.
The reward for information has been increased from $250,000 to $1 million, with hopes this may finally lead police to an arrest and a conviction through the courts.
