''It has been almost two decades since Newcastle woman Roslyn Reay was found stabbed to death in her home.
Now, NSW Police have offered a $750,000 reward in the hopes of finally finding her killer.
Police officers were called to Reay's home on Laman Street, Cooks Hill, on April 3, 2005 after concerns were raised for her welfare.
The 52-year-old was found dead with multiple stab wounds.
To this day no-one has been charged with her murder.''
''Her daughter, Mandii, said the reward had given her hope of finally finding some answers.
"Mum was such a gentle soul, who's greatest joy was derived from helping others," Mandii said.
"To think her final moments were so horrible is heartbreaking, it haunts me to this day.''
"Roslyn was a well-liked and respected member of the Newcastle community and for her life to be cut short in such a violent manner was a shock to the neighbourhood," Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, said. ''
"We are hoping this reward may spark someone's memory who may have spoken to or associated with Roslyn in the March of 2005, and may be able to help us piece together her final movements."
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Oro 2 investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.''
