Murder investigation continues

Police divers and homicide detectives will return to the NSW Hunter region today to continue the search for information about the unsolved murder of Melissa Hunt.

The body of the 22-year-old was found near the weir wall of Burrenjim Dam near Stockrington in April 1994.

A post-mortem examination found she died from severe head injuries but no arrests were ever made.

Police received information about the case after a $1 million reward was offered last December and said they would conduct further searches today.
