Police Minister David Elliott has announced separate rewards of $1 million each for information into the disappearance and suspected murders of Lake Macquarie teenagers Robyn Hickie and Amanda Robinson 42 years ago.
18-year-old Robyn left her home on the evening of Saturday April 7, 1979 and was last seen standing at a bus stop on the Pacific Highway at Belmont North.
Two weeks later, 14-year-old Amanda was last seen walking along Lake Road at Swansea on Saturday April 21 after attending a high school dance at Gateshead.
Police Minister David Elliott says despite extensive investigations over the years, the mystery of their disappearances has never been solved.
"It's important that the people of Lake Macquarie, and indeed right across NSW, look into their hearts to see if they have any information that might lead to the conclusion of this matter, " he said.
