Victoria Police Offer $1 Million Reward in Eloise Worledge Disappearance

The offer includes payment for information that leads to her remains.

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.
