NSW:Unsolved opal miner's death attracts $1 million reward

A $1 million reward has been announced for information relating to the suspicious death of an opal miner more than 30 years ago.

Paul Murray was last seen alive on the outskirts of Lightning Ridge, an outback town in northwestern NSW, on March 19, 1995.

Mr Murray, then aged 40, owned an opal mining field about 8km northwest of the town and lived in a camp at the site.

A local resident had picked him up and dropped him off at the edge of town, becoming the last known person to see him alive.

Mr Murray was reported missing one week later.

After an extensive search, two graziers found his naked, decomposing body in scrubland on April 22, about 2km from his campsite.
