Disappearance of Matthew Leveson
NSW Police are renewing their appeal for information into the 2007 disappearance, and believed murder, of a 20-year-old Sydney man.
Matthew Leveson, from Cronulla in Sydneys south, was reported missing on Tuesday 25 September 2007 by concerned relatives after he failed to arrive at his work and could not be contacted.
He was last seen leaving a nightclub at Surry Hills about 2am on Sunday 23 September. Police then located his abandoned car on Thursday 27 September at Waratah Oval, Sutherland.
Detectives attached to Miranda Local Area Command were notified and launched an exhaustive investigation into his disappearance, which was considered suspicious almost immediately as it was completely out of character.
Despite extensive searches, Matthews body has never been located and police have been unable to determine the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
In 2008, Miranda Police charged a man with murder, however, he was acquitted at trial and the investigation continues.
The renewed appeal comes as the NSW Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Michael Gallacher, announces a $100,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of Matthews body.
Detective Inspector Rohan Cramsie, Crime Manager of Miranda Local Area Command, said despite extensive investigations, police have so far been unable to determine what exactly happened to Matthew.
There is a person, or people, out there who knows what happened to Matt. Were again appealing for them to come forward with information that will allow the Leveson family closure and the ability to bury their son.
There are a lot of unanswered questions, and, to this date investigating officers have been unable to determine what happened to Matthew. Hopefully this reward will give them the encouragement needed to come forward, he said.
Matthew is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall, of thin build, and with short blond hair. He was last seen wearing light-brown cargo shorts, a black singlet and white leather shoes.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is urged to contact Miranda Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
