Reward offered in bid to crack decades-old cold case

A $500,000 reward has been offered in the hope of cracking the cold case of a Wollongong mother believed dead after her disappearance more than 30 years ago.

Pauline Sowry – also known as Pauline Lawrence by marriage – was last seen by her family in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, south of Sydney, in December 1993.
