''Police are offering a $500,000 reward for information to help solve a Gold Coast cold case that they suspect was a murder.
Tammy Lisa Dyson, also known as Tamela Menzies, aged 23, was a mother of two when she went missing from the Currumbin area in 1995.
She was picked up from a drug rehab clinic by a woman claiming to be her sister and has not been seen or heard from since.''
''Dyson was born and raised in Victoria but in 1988 moved to Brisbane where she began working in the adult entertainment industry, under the nickname "Pebbles".
Police say she began mixing with criminals and using drugs while working in strip clubs on the Gold Coast.
In early 1995 she arranged for her young sons Jyles and Rainey to stay with their grandmother in Victoria.''
''A woman claiming to be Olivia picked her up on July 20, 1995. She was never seen again.
Olivia was her only sister and confirmed to police at the time she had not collected Tammy.
The following day Tammy completed a statutory declaration signed by a Justice of the Peace in Tweed Heads, giving custody of her children and her possessions to her mother.
She also made a final phone call to Olivia during which she mentioned underworld figures''.
