POLICE will search bushland in southern New South Wales for a teenager who went missing more than three years ago. Niamh Maye, 18, was last seen on Gocup Road, between Tumut and Gundagai on March 30, 2002, and is feared to have been murdered. The Armidale teenager disappeared after phoning her parents just before Easter, 2002, to say she was travelling from Batlow, in southern NSW, to see her sister in Sydney. Despite extensive publicity, no trace of the teenager has ever been found. About 60 local police and volunteers will this weekend conduct an extensive search of bushland near Tumut, in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, by foot, motorbikes and horseback. Police said the search follows a review of the investigation, which has identified four possible sites where the teenager's body or belonging's may have been disposed of. Niamh's parents, Anne and Brian Maye, will attend the search. Jason Paul Nicklason, an acquaintance of Niamh, is believed to be one of the last people to have seen her after giving her a lift and dropping her off on the roadside en route to Sydney. The pair met in early 2002 when they were both fruit-picking at Batlow. Nicklason was arrested on October 18, that year, following the bashing and rape of a woman at West End, in inner Brisbane. But he fell to his death while being escorted to a Brisbane jail cell on the day of his arrest. Police said at the time they believed it was likely Niamh was murdered and have never ruled out Nicklason as a suspect. AAP (2-12-2005) |
