Strike force investigators believe two anonymous callers from three decades ago could have vital information about one of the Hunter's most baffling cold cases.
Gordana Kotevski was 16-years-old when she was last seen being bundled into a vehicle on Powell Street at Charlestown about 9.00pm on Thursday November 24, 1994.
She was walking to her aunt's house after shopping at Charlestown Square.
A 2003 inquest concluded she was deceased and her death was the result of foul play.
Investigators from Strike Force Bambil are now calling for two anonymous witnesses, both males, to come forward.
One had phoned Newcastle Police Station at about 6.50pm on December 5 1994 to provide "specific information about a person's involvement in the matter".
Two years later, on September 18 1996, a man contacted radio station KOFM in Newcastle and spoke to a presenter, providing similar specific information.
Police say both calls were anonymous and detectives are urging the callers to come forward and speak with investigators about the information they hold.
It comes nearly four years after the state government increased the reward for information about the suspected murder to $1 million in 2022.
The men, or anyone else with information are being urged to call Belmont detectives on 4922 8774 or get in contact via email at SFBambil@police.nsw.gov.au.
