The state government and police have announced a $1 million reward for information in a bid to solve one of Newcastle's most baffling cold-case double murders.
It's been just been just over 26 years since police found the bodies of 32-year-old Susan Kay and 37-year-old Joanne Teterin in a small miners cottage in Doran Street Carrington on Wednesday 17 May 2000.
The pair were last seen alive 6 days earlier - they had been bludgeoned to death.
A $100,000 reward was announced following an inquest into their deaths in 2003.
Police say a review of the case in 2025 unearthed fresh forensic opportunities which have now become the focus of their inquiries.
