The NSW Government, together with the NSW Police Force, will announce a $1 million reward for information into the murder of Boggabilla woman Theresa Binge.
Theresa Binge, then aged 43, was last seen about midday on Friday 18th July 2003 at the O'Shea's Royal Hotel in Goondiwindi in Queensland.
At the time, she was wearing a horizontal striped black and yellow football jersey, silver track pants and white running shoes.
Theresa was reported missing to Queensland Police by her family members on Monday 21 July 2003.
On Tuesday 29 July 2003, Theresa's body was located in a drainage culvert beneath the Mungindi-Goondiwindi Bridge Road – formerly known as Boomi Road – in NSW, approximately 12kms south of Goondiwindi.
Queensland Police had carriage of the initial missing person investigation; however, after Therese's body was located, the matter was referred to Moree Police to commence a homicide investigation.
In 2007, the NSW Government announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Theresa's murder.
That same year an inquest into Theresa's death began, with the Coroner finding Theresa's manner of death was homicide by an unknown person or persons.
The matter was then referred to State Crime Command's Homicide Squad Unsolved Homicide Team. A matter under investigation by the Unsolved Homicide Team is never closed and is continually reviewed for new avenues to progress the investigation.
Today (Tuesday 4 November 2025), Homicide Squad detectives have travelled to Moree to announce the reward for information into Theresa's murder has been upgraded to $1 million.
Detectives will spend the week in Moree, Goondiwindi and surrounds raising awareness of the increased $1 million reward and, with assistance from Crime Stoppers, have employed the services of a mobile billboard to assist in spreading the word.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is managed on a confidential basis. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
