Police are renewing calls for information into the murder of 20-year-old Italian tourist Victoria Cafasso on 11 October 1995 at Freshwater Creek, Beamauris.
Detectives investigating the case have released reconstructed images of a vehicle spotted at various locations in the Beaumaris area including at Freshwater Creek at the time of Victoria’s murder.
The distinctive light coloured Subaru Station Wagon was a vehicle of interest in the early stages of the investigation, and police are now following a specific line of inquiry in relation to that vehicle.
Police are interested to hear from anyone who may have knowledge of that vehicle and any person linked to a vehicle of that description in October 1995.
Witnesses told police a man was driving the vehicle of interest in the area at the time of the murder.
The man was described as being in his 20s, about six feet tall, slim build, but very fit, sun tanned legs and arms, with the appearance of a surfer.
A person matching that description was also seen running onto the beach where Victoria was located.
Detective Acting Inspector Andrew Hanson said as with any unsolved matter, the investigation into Victoria’s murder remains open, and police continually reviewed information relating to the case.
“Serious crime cases stay open until answers are found, and a person or people responsible are arrested, and charged,” Detective Acting Inspector Hanson said.
“Victoria’s family deserve closure, and our detectives continue to work to try and provide that closure. This continues to be an active investigation, and we will continue to follow all lines of inquiry.”
A $500,000 reward remains available for information relating to a conviction in the case.
