The Boggabilla woman was reported missing the following Monday but by July 29, her body had been found.
The mother was dumped in a drainage culvert on what was then called Boomi Road – now Mungindi-Goondiwindi Bridge Road – about 12 kilometres south of Goondiwindi, in NSW.
An inquest in 2007 found Binge had been murdered, but her killer has never been found, even after the NSW government announced a $100,000 reward the same year for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Today, homicide squad commander Detective Superintendent Joseph Doueihi will stand beside Binge’s daughter Daylene Barlow outside Moree police station to again appeal for help.
Barlow told the Sydney Morning Herald she wishes she had told her mother how much she meant to her.
“It’s like they say – one minute you’re there, and the next minute you’re gone,” Barlow, 45, told the newspaper.
