A $750,000 reward is being offered for information about the disappearance of a NSW teenage girl more than 20 years ago.
Eighteen-year-old Rose Howell was last seen at about 6.15pm April 11, 2003, walking along Perrys Road, Repton, in the direction of her home in Bundagen – about 25km south of Coffs Harbour.
Her mother believed Rose intended to meet friends in Bellingen and it was not unusual for her to spend the night at one of her friends’ homes.
NSW Police have been told Rose was excited about her upcoming birthday party.
On April 13, 2003, she was reported missing after she failed to return home and meet her mother for an 11am appointment.
Rose is described as being of Caucasian appearance, with an olive complexion, about 160-165cm tall, with hazel eyes and short, dark hair worn in a Mohawk.
In 2012, a coronial inquest found that it was likely Ms Howell had died, but the date, place and cause of death were undetermined.
