On the evening of May 16 1993, a regular Sunday night, NSW mum Bronwyn Winfield said goodnight to her daughters and was never seen again.
The night of Ms Winfield’s disappearance, she was reportedly arguing with her estranged husband Jonathan Winfield.
The pair were in the midst of a messy separation and he would later be named as the main suspect in her disappearance.
Mr. Winfield didn't report her missing until 27th May, 11 days later.
An investigation led by Ballina Detective Sergeant Glenn Taylor in 1998 led to a 2002 coronial inquest that found Ms Winfield died at the time of her disappearance.
The findings also ruled that a “known person” should be charged with her death and that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) should consider prosecuting her estranged husband.
Mr Winfield has always emphatically denied any wrongdoing and the DPP has declined to prosecute him, citing insufficient evidence.
In 2010, police offered a $100,000 reward for information that would help solve the mystery.
But now 31 years later, Ms Winfield’s daughters still have no idea what happened to their mum.
Bronwyn left behind a diary.
