A $1 million reward is being offered to anyone who helps solve the decade-old murder of Melbourne mother-of-three Cindy Crossthwaite.
Ms Crossthwaite was brutally murdered in 2007 inside her Melton South home leaving her daughter, sons and father searching for answers.
The 41-year-old’s body was discovered by her father Phillip on June 20 after she failed to pick up her two eldest children, then aged 10 and eight, from school.

The murder was so vicious it took DNA and fingerprints to identify her, despite her family already knowing the worst.
Ms Crossthwaite’s youngest son, aged just 15-months, was at the home with her when she was killed, police said.
Ms Crossthwaite’s daughter Jesmine, now 19, and Phillip begged for answers about her death on the 10th anniversary of her murder this year.
‘I want to know what happened to mum. I want to find out why they would, someone would do that to her. I want them to know how much it’s affected everyone,’ she told Nine News.
‘She was just a beautiful angel. The pain is so deep and she can never be replaced.’
Police said the media coverage at the time helped detectives uncover new information about the case.
‘One person provided specific information to police about Cindy’s murder including a claim that more than one person was involved and that Cindy may have been stalked in the weeks leading up to her death,’ officers said in a release.
‘As a result of this, detectives believe a number of people are likely to have intimate knowledge of this murder.’
‘They are also appealing for those people who provided information to contact police again.’

It has been reported the mother-of-three was also receiving death threats before her brutal murder, with someone claiming they were going to shoot her and snap her neck.
Witnesses and neighbours also claim they saw a stranger lurking outside her house that day, described as in his 40s, 178cm tall, tanned, dark hair and potentially having facial hair.
