ounced a $1 million reward in relation to the suspicious death of Penny Galanopoulos in Mordialloc over a decade ago.
Penny, who was 33 at the time, was found dead after a fire in her home on January 10, 2012.
Emergency services were called to the property on Main St, near the intersection of George St, about 5.20am following a report of a fire.
After extinguishing the fire, a body was located inside the property.
Forensic testing subsequently identified the body to be Penny’s and revealed she had been killed before the fire was lit.
In 2012, a handwritten letter was posted to the Mordialloc Police Station and contained information relating to the murder of Penny and the fire at her home.
The information contained in the letter was believed to be credible and investigators at the time believed the author of this letter held the key to resolving the investigation.
Despite numerous public appeals, the author of the letter never came forward or contacted police again.
A reward of up to $1M will be paid at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner of Police.
