Reward Offered in Bid to Solve the Suspected Murder

A $100,000 reward is being offered for information relating to the suspected murder of Rossarden man Paul Byrne more than 10 years ago.

A special Police Task Force is working on the case hoping to solve the suspected murder.

Mr Paul Byrne 32, was last seen on September 19, 1996 at the Rossarden Club in the Northern Tasmania about 9pm.

Police believe Mr Byrne may have been murdered; however, his body has never been found despite intensive searches in the Rossarden area.

Mr Byrne, nicknamed ‘Pucky’, was regarded as a harmless and quiet man who was originally from New Zealand, and was in Rossarden less than 12 months before he went missing.

Anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or local Police Station.
