Police have found items of clothing during their search of bushland in the state’s Illawarra, as they continue investigations into the suspicious disappearance of a Wollongong mother three decades ago.
Strike Force Anthea was established in 2022 to re-examine the circumstances surrounding Pauline Sowry’s disappearance.
Pauline, also known by her married name of Pauline Lawrence, was 49-years old when she was last seen by her family in the northern suburbs of Wollongong in December 1993.
Despite extensive investigations since then, Pauline’s whereabouts remain unknown.
In 2008, a Coronial inquest found that Pauline had died, most likely after an unconfirmed sighting in 1994.
In March 2024, the NSW Government and NSW Police announced a $500,000 reward for information.
