Seven years on, this family is still hunting for answers

Ray Kehlet was a handsome, happy-go-lucky father who died while searching for gold in Western Australia in 2015. Who killed him Because, contrary to rumours that swirl around the goldfields, he didnt trip and fall down the mine shaft in which he was found. His death was a homicide. This we know...

It says that Ray died from blunt force trauma he was bashed to death

It's a long article.

Murder in the Goldfields, an investigation into the death of Ray and Jennie Kehlet, will air on the Seven Network on October 16.

Thanks, hadn’t known about this case. So difficult where there is a strong suspect but not evidence for beyond reasonable doubt. Thoughts with the families, will watch on catch-up.

Investigation into Kehlet outback mystery given $2 million boost under new WA cold case rewards

An additional 60 unsolved missing and murdered persons cases in WA, including those of amateur prospectors Raymond and Jennie Kehlet, will attract rewards of $1 million each for information that results in a conviction.

'Raymond and Jennie Kehlet, Stacey Thorne among 64 WA cold cases given $1 million reward'​

By Ashleigh Davis and Rebecca Trigger
Posted 2h ago

"In a statement, Police Minister Paul Papalia said the rewards were significant and gave people "one million reasons to come forward".

"Each of these unsolved cases is as important as the next, and that is represented by the large rewards on offer," he said.

"The financial incentive will hopefully ensure those responsible for these heinous crimes are brought to justice and assist grieving families in finding closure."



''Today's policy change will also mean cold cases that involve the deaths of two people could now attract some of the highest rewards on record.

They include those of amateur prospectors Raymond and Jennie Kehlet, who went missing in the outback in 2015.''

Raymond and Jennie Kehlet were prospecting with their friend, Graham Milne, in 2015 when they went missing near the tiny town of Sandstone, about 700 kilometres north-east of Perth.

Mr Milne told police he last saw the Kehlets on the morning of March 21, 2015, when he left to go prospecting on his own for around 20 hours.''

Good news about the reward, hope it’s enough to make someone close to the perp speak up.

Family has renewed hope after cold case reward increase

Eight years after the homicide of Ray Kehlet and the disappearance of his wife Jennie Kehlet in outback Wes...

9now.nine.com.au

'Eight years after the homicide of Ray Kehlet and the disappearance of his wife Jennie Kehlet in outback Western Australia, the reward for information in the unsolved cases has today increased from $250,000 to $2 million.''

''There are two separate $1 million rewards for information that leads to a conviction in the homicide of Ray Kehlet and the suspicious disappearance of Jennie Kehlet.

The couple was last seen alive on March 21, 2015, during a prospecting trip near the outback town of Sandstone, eight hours north of Perth.''

'Under Investigation with Liz Hayes revealed significant new evidence in the case in February.'

''A witness, Marc Granville, spoke publicly for the first time about a man behaving "ridiculously" on the side of the Paynes Find-Sandstone Road at about 4am on March 22, 2015.
Granville said he slowed down and the man walked away from his trailer, flailed his arms about, ran towards their passing car, and shouted at them to get away.''
''The unique features of the trailer he saw include small tail-lights, a quad bike on the top facing sideways rather than forwards, and the hefty checker-plate toolbox like the one shown below.''

''The local prospector was shocked to learn that Ray Kehlet's body was discovered just metres away from where this sighting occurred.

The WA coroner ruled that the unidentified man was not the Kehlets' companion, Graham Milne, because his trailer was smaller.''

''Dave Kehlet today urged motorists who saw anything strange between Sandstone and Perth on March 22, 2015 to come forward''

Scrap of clothing in mine shaft prompts fresh search eight years after body found

A member of the public — an army veteran with experience in search and rescue techniques — has been assisting the family.

It is understood he found a scrap of clothing at the base of the shaft which has prompted police to revisit the site.

I wonder if it will be the hi-vis vest they suspected Ray had on.
