Simone Strobel Inquest Concludes with Family's Emotional Testimony

Two decades after the German backpacker's death, new evidence is reviewed in Sydney, but questions remain unanswered.

Overview

Simone Strobel, a 25-year-old German backpacker, was found dead in Lismore, Australia, in 2005, and the case remains unsolved.
The recent inquest at Lidcombe Coroner’s Court in Sydney examined previously unavailable evidence over five days.
Simone's sister, Christina Strobel, expressed the family's enduring grief and frustration over the lack of closure.
Detective Sergeant Dave Mackie suggested Simone's then-boyfriend, Tobias Moran, may have been involved, but no conclusive evidence was found.
The coroner, Teresa O'Sullivan, will review the findings before deciding on any further action.
