$500,000 reward to find murdered backpacker's remains

A $500,000 reward is on the table for information leading to the discovery of murdered British backpacker Peter Falconio's remains. Bradley John Murdoch was given a life sentence for the murder of the 28-year-old and the assault and attempted kidnap of his girlfriend Joanne Lees on the Stuart Highway near Barrow Creek in July 2001. Ms Lees hid in bushland for five hours while Murdoch hunted her with his dog, before she managed to flag down a truck driver. Murdoch is believed to have hidden Mr Falconio's body, which has never been found despite extensive searches. Northern Territory Police Acting Commander Mark Grieve of the Crime and Intelligence Command announced the reward on Wednesday. In 2019 Murdoch was diagnosed with throat cancer, at first refusing treatment but then being treated at Royal Darwin Hospital.
