00:01Karen Rowland disappeared in 1971 on the night at the Royal Canberra show. Her body was found three months later
00:10at a forest in Canberra's east. She was 20 years old and five months pregnant. More than 50 years on,
00:17her family hopes a new reward might get them some answers.
00:21After this many years it would be just like winning the lottery, or better of course. We desperately need some
00:29more information.
00:30It's one of five cases now eligible for a reward of up to $500,000 from the ACT Government, alongside
00:38Elizabeth Hereford, Megan Mulquiney, Troy Forsyth and David Aboy, who went missing or were killed between 1971 and 2012.
00:48These were identified as the five most likely where there would be potentially people in the community that have information
00:55for us and as a result that led to the announcement of the rewards today.
00:59Vanessa Forsyth says she still thinks about her brother Troy every day. He was killed in a hit and run
01:06in Deakin in 1987 when he was 17 and police have never found the van or its driver.
01:12The impact that it had on my family is huge. Unfortunately my mum passed away and that was really hard
01:20that she never got the opportunity, you know, to pass away and know what had happened.
01:26It's critically important that people come forward and provide us any information that they know so we can get answers
01:31for the families and from our perspective bring those responsible to justice.
