$50,000 reward posted to help solve disappearance


NSW Minister for Police Tony Kelly today announced a $50,000 reward to help solve the mysterious disappearance of Bombala man Peter Messariti 10 years ago.
“It has now been a decade since Mr Messariti was last seen: 10 years of heartbreak for his family not knowing what happened to him,” Mr Kelly said.
Mr Messariti was last seen at the Athame property in Bombala on 15 November 1998.
His car was seen that afternoon in Bukalong, a short distance
from the property. It was parked as if it had broken down – it was unlocked and still contained personal papers.
Police from Strike Force Clayland conducted extensive investigations into Mr Messariti’s disappearance, including thorough searches of surrounding bushland and interviews with people who knew him.
Despite these efforts, and the identification of some persons of interest, Mr Messariti has not been found and no one has been charged over his disappearance.
Mr Kelly said investigators hope the $50,000 reward will encourage people with information to come forward.
“Police are convinced there are people who know what happened to Mr Messariti and I encourage them to come forward,” Mr Kelly said.
“The smallest piece of information could be the vital link that police need to uncover the circumstances surrounding Mr Messariti’s mysterious disappearance.”

After 14 years, disappearance remains mystery

 

An inquest into the disappearance of a man on the southern Monaro in the New South Wales south east more than a decade ago has found he died in suspicious circumstances.

It has been almost 14 years since Peter Messariti vanished near Bombala.

The 54-year-old known as Moses was last seen at a property near the town, where it is believed he was setting up an alternative lifestyle community.

In November 1998, his unlocked car was found a short distance away.

Police say it was parked as if it had broken down with personal papers inside.

The former State Government offered a reward several years ago, but there have been no confirmed sightings of Mr Messariti, and no activity with his bank accounts.

After hearing from 13 witnesses at Cooma, Deputy State Coroner Sharon Freund said the man died suspiciously, but the manner and cause remained a mystery.

She says she suspects somebody knows about the death but has not come forward.
