Reward for 1979 cold case of Kim Teer A $100,000 reward has been offered to help solve the disappearance of teenager Kim Teer more than 30 years ago. The 17-year-old NSW girl was hitchhiking around Australia when she went missing in Victoria sometime between September and October 1979. Kim left her home near Port Macquarie in late 1978 with a female friend and her black and white border collie, Crosby, and travelled itinerantly across the country, including in Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland. Investigators believe Kim then travelled with friends to Victoria and stayed in a unit in Simpson Street, East Melbourne while helping to clean another property in Darling Street, East Melbourne. During her time in Melbourne, Kim also visited the Kangaroo Ground area. Kim and Crosby were last seen in East Melbourne around September 1979. During her travels, the teenager kept in regular contact with her mother, Colleen, but in her last letter, she spoke of her fear of hitchhiking and asked for her birth certificate to be forwarded so she could get her driver's licence. When Kim's 18th birthday passed without any contact from her, her mother became extremely concerned for her welfare and reported her missing to NSW police in December 1979. Victorian Homicide Squad detectives continue to investigate her disappearance and believe Kim may have met with foul play while in Melbourne. Kim's family joined with police in April last year to make an appeal for any information and have urged anyone with information to come forward. Detective Inspector John Potter said investigators had not given up hope of solving the case. "We believe there is someone out there who has information that can solve this case," Insp Potter said. Investigators want to speak to anyone who has information about Kim's disappearance or had any contact with her between August and October 1979. Anyone with any information is urged to contact the www.crimestoppers.com.au website or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
