Bowraville: Police offer $1 million reward for information about triple child murder cold case
One of Australia’s most brutal murder cold cases is now the subject of a $1 million reward for information from police.
Four-year-old Evelyn Greenup, Clinton Speedy-Duroux, 16, and Colleen Walker, 16, disappeared from the northern NSW town of Bowraville over a five-month period from September 1990.
The $1 million reward has now been offered for information about each of the murders of the three Aboriginal children some 34 years ago.

“A $1 million reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for each of the children’s murder remains in place, as well as for information leading to the location and recovery of Colleen’s remains,” NSW police said in a statement on Monday.
Detectives will spend this week in Bowraville with “a particular focus on locating the remains of Colleen Walker-Craig, which have never been found,” the statement said.
A high visibility presence will be noticeable on the main street of Bowraville, with local residents encouraged to speak to police if they have any information regarding the case.
A man, who can’t be named for legal reasons, was acquitted of Clinton’s murder in 1994 and of Evelyn’s murder in 2006.
The case was the subject of two police investigations, multiple trials, a coronial inquest and a parliamentary inquiry.
In 2019, hundreds protested in front of the gates of the Court of Appeal when a retrial was denied.
