$500,000 reward offered in 55-year-old murder of pregnant nurse
The ACT government announced a $500,000 reward for information on the 1971 murder of pregnant dental nurse Keren Rowland.
Keren Rowland, a 20-year-old pregnant dental nurse, was killed in 1971. Her body was found in a pine plantation near Canberra.
NSW Police confirmed they believe serial killer Ivan Milat was highly likely responsible, 18 years before he murdered seven young backpackers. The reward was announced Monday by the ACT government.
Her family has fought for eight years to secure this reward for new leads. The reward may bring hope after decades of frustration.
