Despite a long investigation nobody was ever arrested or charged.
After a 2003 coronial inquest, the case was referred to the Homicide Squad's Unsolved Homicide Unit for review.
A $100,000 reward was announced.
Last year, the review was finished and unearthed "fresh forensic opportunities" police said.

Earlier this month, Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Joe Doueihi said police are poring over the original file and will pursue new lines of inquiry.
"It was a brutal crime which has remained unsolved for 25 years," Doueihi said.
"Homicide detectives are committed to seeking justice for the families of Susan and Joanne.
"We remain focused on finding the person or persons responsible and renew our appeal for anyone who may have held on to information – no matter how seemingly insignificant – to reach out to police.
