''A $100,000 reward is on offer for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of senior citizen Janie Perrin.

The 73-year-old woman's bludgeoned body was found in her unit in Bourke on 3 November, 1990.

She had been sexually assaulted and murdered some time after 9pm the evening before when she was seen walking into her home.

The killing of this frail old woman was a particularly heinous crime.

A worried neighbour contacted Police concerning the welfare of Mrs Perrin when she had not seen her the day after her last sighting.

Officers who looked inside a window saw her lying dead inside her small flat.

A number of personal items belonging to Mrs Perrin were also stolen at the time of her death.

No-one has been charged so far despite extensive inquiries by investigating police.

These inquiries have involved interviewing hundreds of people and inquiries continue to this day.

The case was subject to a 'cold case' review and the reward doubled in hope of securing enough evidence to lead to a conviction.''

''Police believe that shortly after 9pm on 2 November 1990, after Perrin was last seen walking into her flat in Tarcoon Street, she was attacked by an unknown number of males who sexually assaulted her. Police believe Perrin was bludgeoned by her attackers and that a number of personal items belonging to Perrin were stolen.

Concerned neighbours contacted Police the following day who discovered Perrin lying deceased in her unit. Strike Force Pollwood was subsequently formed. It has interviewed hundreds of people during the investigation and remains active. In November 2006, NSW Police doubled the reward to $100,000''
