NSW Police Renew Appeal in Bowraville Murders

Police in Bowraville, NSW, are renewing their appeal for information regarding the 1990 disappearances and suspected murders of three Aboriginal children: Colleen Walker-Craig, Evelyn Greenup, and Clinton Speedy-Duroux. A $1 million reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for each of the murders, as well as for the recovery of Colleen's remains, which have never been found despite a coroner's conclusion that she was likely murdered. Detectives are currently conducting community outreach in Bowraville to gather new insights into the case, which has seen various investigations, trials, and a parliamentary inquiry over the years. The case highlights a troubling history of violence against Indigenous children, with calls for justice continuing from the community and advocacy groups. A man was acquitted of the murders of Clinton and Evelyn in two separate trials, and attempts to appeal those decisions have been unsuccessful. The ongoing search for Colleen's remains remains a critical focus for investigators and the community, which is urged to come forward with any information.
