Overview
- Police announced the reward on the 50th anniversary of the eight-year-old’s disappearance from her Beaumaris bedroom.
- The sum, lifted from an original $10,000 offer, uniquely permits payment for details that identify an offender or locate her remains.
- Eloise was last seen in bed on January 12, 1976, with a cut flyscreen found the next morning and no trace found despite one of Victoria’s largest searches.
- Investigators now say they believe she was murdered, and they stress there is no evidence implicating her parents, who died without answers.
- Decades of inquiries, including a 2023 review of alleged offenders linked to her primary school, produced no connection, and police and family urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
