NSW police offer reward for unsolved death

Police are offering a $100,000 reward for information on the 1995 suspected murder of a man in an opal-mining community in northern NSW.

Paul Murray, 40, was last seen alive on March 19, 1995 by a local who had dropped him off just outside the town of Lightning Ridge.

Mr Murray owned an opal-mining claim about eight kilometres north-west of Lightning Ridge and lived in a camp at the site, police said.

Four days later he was reported missing by his family.

Despite an extensive search, police said it was not until almost a month later, on April 22 that his naked body was found in scrub about two kilometres from his campsite.

Police investigating the death could find no signs of trauma on Mr Murray’s body or obvious cause of death.

But police said they have never ruled out homicide.
