Police are offering a $250,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of accused murderer Julian Ingram as a small NSW town prepares to farewell his ex-partner, her unborn child and her aunty.
Ingram, 37, has been on the run for almost two months, accused of the shooting deaths of his pregnant ex-partner Sophie Quinn, 25, her aunty Nerida Quinn, 50, and her friend John Harris, 32, at Lake Cargelligo in the NSW Central West on January 22.
The sole survivor, 19-year-old Kaleb Macqueen, was left seriously injured in the shootings.

Quinn was heavy pregnant at the time and was due to give birth in March.
Quinn's family released an ultrasound image of the unborn child through NSW Police today.
The family told 9News Quinn and Ingram separated last year.
NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Pisanos described the announcement of the reward as "a major milestone for the community".

The shooting broke the tiny town of Lake Cargelligo and rattled the entire state.
More than 100 officers were on the ground working from tip-offs until there were no more leads.
"The information has slowed from the public, this is an idea to generate information," NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said.
Police believe Ingram is still alive.
"He hasn't accessed any of his mobile phones or his banking records in that time, so we believe he is alive and he's getting support," Holland said.
The last confirmed sighting of Ingram was on January 25 at Mount Hope.
Since then police have answered 280 calls for potential tips and sightings and have scoured through 25,000 hectares of land.
