TWENTY years can pass in the blink of an eye for some, but for Peter and Robyn Stace, they have felt every single day.
Because every day that goes by is another 24 hours, they don’t have justice for their teenage daughter Lee Ellen Stace, whose murder in 1997 remains unsolved.
On the day the blonde, beach-loving 16-year-old was last seen alive it’s understood she was hoping to hitch-hike home to Brooms Head, NSW, after finishing work at a supermarket, a job she had started two weeks earlier. Million Dollar Murders has discovered new information that indicates Lee knew her killer or killers, and there are people keeping secrets and have told lies, about her murder.
NSW Police, the Stace family and Lee’s friends hope this new information and a one Million Dollar reward will finally crack the veil of silence surrounding this case.
These are some of the toughest cases for detectives to solve. Million Dollar Murders will highlight the tireless effort of police in their investigations of these unsolved cases.
When there are few leads left to investigate in a case, Police turn to the public for help, offering a one million dollar reward for any new information that leads to a conviction.
Recently retired Detective Superintendent, Deborah Wallace, has been given extensive access to the case files, so MDM can take viewers inside the ongoing investigation of the most chilling murder mysteries in the country.
To help solve these crimes, Wallace interviews the detectives involved in these investigations, witnesses, and family members, hoping to spark a long-forgotten memory or a change of heart that will bring justice for the victims and their families.
All cases can be solved. They’re never cold and police never give up.
