A fresh spotlight is now on the investigations into 67 women who were killed or went missing between 1977 and 2009 on the NSW North Coast.
Former Greens MP and member of NSW legislative council Jeremy Buckingham gave an impassioned speech in parliament about the scores of unsolved cases in the area which he said had "alarming similarity".Missing woman Narelle Cox was last seen in 1977.
"Some of these were individual incidents; there is no doubt about that. But many are linked, and there is a single perpetrator," he went on. They have also called on Premier Chris Minns to have a special commission of inquiry into the deaths and missing persons cases. "The matters remain under investigation by State Crime Command's Homicide Squad Unsolved Homicide Team and the Missing Person Registry and as part of the recent recommendations handed down by the Special Commission of Inquiry, all unsolved cases will be reviewed every two years," the statement said.
