The NSW government has announced a massive increase in the reward being offered for information over the suspicious death of a toddler at Singleton 20 years ago.
Jordan William Thompson was just 21 months old in March 2005 when his mother returned home from running errands after leaving him in the care of her then partner, to find him unresponsive in a bedroom.
Police were told Jordan had earlier been found face down in a bathtub.
His mother rushed him across the road to Singleton Base Hospital but he couldn't be revived.
A postmortem later found a lethal dose of prescription medication used to treat depression in his system.
Cecil Kennedy has stood trial twice for manslaughter, however juries were unable to reach unanimous verdicts.
Despite a $100,000 dollar reward offered in 2015, no-one has been convicted over Jordan's death.
It's hoped a new reward of $500,000 will encourage someone to come forward with information which leads to an arrest and conviction.
