Police have released an image of a vehicle, as they continue their appeal for information into the suspicious disappearance of a Wollongong woman 30 years ago.

The last confirmed sighting of Pauline Sowry, also known by her married name of Pauline Lawrence, was 49-years-old when last seen by her family in the northern suburbs of Wollongong in December 1993.

Despite extensive investigations since then, her whereabouts remain unknown.

A Coronial inquest in 2008 found that Pauline had died, most likely after an unconfirmed sighting in 1994.

Strike Force Anthea was established in 2022 to re-examine the circumstances surrounding Pauline’s disappearance.

In March 2024, the NSW Government and NSW Police announced a $500,000 reward for information.

As a result of the appeal, police have received information that Pauline was sighted south of Wollongong in a vehicle similar to the image released today.

That vehicle is described as a white 1968-model Holden HK Kingswood sedan, which was said to be in ‘pristine’ condition.
