Crime
editPolice believe that shortly after 9pm on 2 November 1990, after Perrin was last seen walking into her flat in Tarcoon Street, she was attacked by an unknown number of males who sexually assaulted her. Police believe Perrin was bludgeoned by her attackers and that a number of personal items belonging to Perrin were stolen.[2][3]
Investigation
editConcerned neighbours contacted Police the following day who discovered Perrin lying deceased in her unit. Strike Force Pollwood was subsequently formed. It has interviewed hundreds of people during the investigation and remains active. In November 2006 NSW Police doubled the reward to $100,000.[4]
