New evidence deaths of nurses Lorraine Wilson and Wendy Evans in 1976 The last known photo of nurses Lorraine Wilson and Wendy Evans. NEW information about the murders of two Sydney nurses in the 1970s will be presented to a Queensland coroner when an inquest re-opens on Monday. The bodies of Lorraine Wilson, 20, and Wendy Evans, 18, were found naked, bound and with head injuries at Murphys Creek, near Toowoomba in southern Queensland, in 1976. The friends had disappeared almost two years earlier while hitch-hiking from Brisbane to Goondiwindi. An inquest in 1985 did not result in any charges being laid. But the Queensland government last year ordered the inquest be re-opened to provide closure for the victims' families and to allow the coroner to consider new information. Police had gathered new intelligence since the 1985 inquest, Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said when he ordered the reopening of the inquiry. The hearing is scheduled to run for five days in Toowoomba before coroner Michael Barnes.
