Last month, the police in Australia announced a new award for $ 500,000 (£ 240,000) for information that led to the discovery of the ruins of the British backpacker killed.
“The police still hopes that the police can provide some vital information to help this call,” the commander Mark Grieve, who came from the Territory Police, said: “The police are still a vital information to help this call.
“We know the passage of the passing time, but it is never too late to reach this conversation and start with the police.” He said.
At a press conference, the police said that Murdoch “has made many approaches”, including in June, but “unfortunately … Choosing not to interact with the police in all cases”.
Acting Commander Grieve said, “At least he was trying to bring some decision strip by bringing the remains of Peter’s family,” and said that they talked to the family about the award.
