Victoria Police Offers $1 Million Reward for Eloise Worledge’s Cold Case
In a crucial appeal for information, police in Victoria have announced a $1 million reward tied to the mysterious disappearance of Eloise Worledge, who vanished five decades ago.
A Unique Approach in Cold Cases
This reward is unprecedented in the state, as it extends not only to tips that may lead to a suspect but also encourages information that could help locate Worledge’s remains.

The Disappearance Timeline
On January 13, 1976, Worledge was reported missing by her parents after last being seen in her bed at their Beaumaris home late the previous night. The following day, her parents discovered that the fly screen on her window had been cut and rolled open, yet nothing else seemed out of place.
Impact on Family
Despite thorough investigations, no solid evidence has surfaced regarding her disappearance nor have authorities identified a responsible party. Detective Inspector Dave Dunstan emphasized the ongoing emotional toll on Eloise’s family as they contend with years of uncertainty.
Eloise’s parents never found closure, passing away without answers and enduring years of speculation about their involvement in her disappearance.
