A parcel of land at a home in the state’s north west will undergo a forensic excavation as investigations continue into the suspicious disappearance and suspected murder of Roxlyn Bowie.
Roxlyn Bowie, aged 31 at the time, was reported missing after she was last seen at her Walgett home about 6pm on Saturday 5 June 1982.
A Coronial Inquest in September 2014 found Mrs Bowie had died but the cause of death was undetermined. Her body has not been located.
The Robbery and Serious Crime Squad has led a renewed investigation into her disappearance and suspected murder under Strike Force Maluka.
Strike force investigators and specialist forensic experts conducted forensic examinations on a home in Walgett yesterday (Tuesday 19 March 2019). Several items were seized from the home to undergo further testing.
As part of their inquiries, investigators identified a parcel of land which is due to be excavated and forensically examined from tomorrow (Thursday 21 March 2019).
A $1 million NSW Government reward remains on offer for information leading to the location of the body of Roxlyn Bowie or for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for her murder.
Investigations under Strike Force Maluka are continuing.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Maluka investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or . Information is treated in strict confidence.
