- Australian Police have announced a new reward of $500,000 for information leading to the discovery of British backpacker Peter Falconio’s remains.
- Falconio disappeared in 2001 on a remote stretch of the Stuart Highway in Australia’s Northern Territory, and his Body has never been found.
- Bradley John Murdoch is serving a life sentence for Falconio’s murder and the assault of his girlfriend, Joanne Lees, who managed to escape the attack.
- Murdoch, who maintains his innocence, has consistently refused to disclose the location of Falconio’s Body, despite being diagnosed with terminal throat cancer and moved to palliative care.
- The new reward aims to bring closure to the enduring mystery, with Police urging anyone with information to come forward, regardless of the time passed.
