Police are offering a $1 million reward for information to solve Cindy Crossthwaite 2007 murder.
Police believe Victorian woman Cindy Crossthwaite may have been stalked in the lead up to her death and they are offering a $1 million reward for solving her 2007 murder.
The 41-year-old mother-of-three was found dead in her Melton South home on June 20 a decade ago.
She had suffered fatal head injuries while her 15-month-old son was in the house.
After media coverage of the 10-year anniversary of Ms Crossthwaite's death, someone contacted police to say more than one person was involved.
They also said Ms Crossthwaite may have been stalked in the weeks leading up to her death.
"The fact that members of the public have come forward to police this year with information shows there are still people out there who know what happened," Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Michael Hughes said on Friday.
"Put yourself in her family's place - how difficult this has been for them for so many years.
"Her children have grown up without their mother and her family has lost their beloved daughter and sister."
Ms Crossthwaite was found when her father went to her house to check on her after she failed to collect her two oldest children, 10-year-old Jesmine and eight-year-old Nicholas, from school.
Her youngest child, 15-month-old Jonas, was present in the house at the time of his mother's murder.
Ms Crossthwaite was last seen dropping Jesmine and Nicholas off at school around 9am in Melton South earlier the same day.
An autopsy later revealed she died of head injuries.
A reward of up to $1 million will be paid at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of those responsible for the murder.
The Department of Public Prosecutions may also consider granting indemnity from prosecution to anyone who identifies the principal offender.
