Australia Australia - Marilyn Wallman, 14, North Mackay, Qld, 21 March 1972

Police have doubled their reward to solve this 46-year-old murder

In an unprecedented move to help them finally crack the case, they are now increasing their reward from $250,000 to $500,000.

It is the first time in Queensland history a reward has been increased by that much, and it will be offered for a temporary period of 12 months.

The case is one of Queensland’s oldest unsolved murders.

“Appropriate indemnity from prosecution could be recommended for any accomplice, not being the person who actually committed the crime, who first gives such information,” he said.

Mackay cane farmer at centre of 46-year mystery"Just this week police made an extraordinary decision to double the $250,000 reward offered for anyone with information that could help them catch her killer.

This is the first time in Queensland history that a reward has been increased to help solve a murder.

It's also the largest government reward ever offered for a case of this kind."
 
Police have confirmed they have a person of interest in the case, and A Current Affair tracked him down, living in a caravan park outside of Mackay.

Noel Morris, who says he was married to a relative of the Wallmans, admitted to reporter Chris Allen that he had been interviewed by police but denied he had any involvement in her murder.

Mr Morris did admit that he was driving a car similar to one witnesses say was seen in the area at the time Marilyn disappeared.

"We have witnesses who have seen a two-tone aqua Holden motor vehicle go into Wallmans Road around the time that Marilyn went missing, we also have a witness that has described what is the same vehicle coming out of Wallmans Road just after Marilyn went missing," Detective Cindy Searle revealed to A Current Affair.

A Current Affairdoes not say Mr Morris is guilty of any wrongdoing, simply that he has been identified as a person of interest.

The afternoon Mr Morris was confronted by A Current Affair he was with a man who found Marilyn's skull, Greven Breadsell.

Mr Breadsell says he held onto the skull fragments for some time before a policeman told him to hand it in to authorities.

The bone fragments were later identified as Marilyn’s.

8 Oct 2018 · Mr Breadsell is a childhood friend of a new person of interest in the case, Noel Morris.

Rest is paywalled. I thought it rather interesting though. Police telling him they now think it’s an accident? Are they trying to get him to confess something?

Fifty years after 14-year-old Marilyn Wallman disappeared from a rural Mackay road, her family are calling for a $1 million reward in a final bid to find out what happened to their "beautiful, caring" daughter and sister.

Only a fragment of bone from Marilyn's body has ever been found, and despite a long-standing $250,000 reward, police investigations and public pleas, her family still does not know what happened to her.
