Police are renewing their appeal for information into the death of a young woman near Cessnock 25 years ago.
17-year-old Allison Newstead was last seen leaving her Cessnock home by her parents on Wednesday 6 October, 1993 and was reported missing the following day when she failed to return.
Her body was found a week later at an abandoned colliery at Pelton, about 8 kilometres from Cessnock.
Detective Acting Superintendent, Chad Gillies says anyone who can assist the investigation should come forward.
"Back in 1998 a $100,000 reward was announced and that is still current. So, I would hope that would encourage anyone who's sitting on information or has some information that is relevant to please forward that to Crime Stoppers as a matter or urgency," he said.
