NSW验尸官Joan Baptie在历时两年的调查后，于周五裁定失踪31年的22岁模特及性工作者Revelle Balmain已死亡[1][2]。验尸官指出护送机构老板Jane King和Zoran Stenojevic为嫌疑人，认为"他们要么知道谁对Balmain的失踪负责，要么以某种方式参与其中"[1]。尽管法庭认定两人的证词"充满"不一致和虚假陈述[1]，但现有证据不足以提起刑事诉讼，两人目前未被控罪[1]。
Balmain于1994年11月5日在悉尼失踪[1][2]。她应于11月6日早上9:30乘火车前往纽卡斯尔与母亲见面，但未出现[2]。失踪前，她参与了一项预定工作，与客户Gavin Samers在Kingsford见面，后者于晚上7点在Red Tomato Inn放下她[2]。次日，Balmain的包、鞋子、化妆品、日记、信用卡和公寓钥匙在Kingsford街道周围被发现[2]。验尸官指出，失踪当晚Balmain爽约了与Stenojevic的客户和朋友的约见[2]。
1999年的初次验尸官曾裁定Balmain死于未知人士之手[1]。此后，当局于2007至2009年期间进行了新调查，2020年进行了正式审查，均未产生有力证据[1]。2021年，当局悬赏100万澳元征集案件线索[1]。案件目前已转交未破获谋杀案件部门进一步调查[2]。
After more than three decades, a NSW coroner has declared that 22-year-old model and escort worker Revelle Balmain is deceased, identifying two people connected to her disappearance as persons of interest. Deputy State Coroner Joan Baptie ruled that Jane King and Zoran Stenojevic, who operated the escort agency where Balmain worked, either knew the identity of those responsible for her death or were directly involved, though insufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal charges [1][2]. Baptie found their testimony riddled with inconsistencies and deliberate falsehoods, with Stenojevic accused of explicitly lying to police and the court [2]. King's account was deemed "not credible...carefully crafted and calculated" [2]. Both remain uncharged, though Stenojevic has been identified as a new person of interest for further investigation [2].
Balmain vanished on November 5, 1994, after failing to appear for a scheduled 9:30 a.m. train to Newcastle to meet her mother the following morning [2]. The day before her disappearance, she met with client Gavin Samers, who dropped her at the Red Tomato Inn in Kingsford at 7 p.m. [2]. Within days, her belongings—including her bag, shoes, cosmetics, diary, credit card, and apartment keys—were discovered scattered on nearby streets [2]. She had been planning to travel to Japan for dance work prior to her disappearance [1]. An initial 1999 coroner's finding determined she died at the hands of an unknown person, followed by renewed investigations between 2007 and 2009 and a formal review in 2020, none of which produced sufficient evidence to progress the case [1]. In 2021, authorities offered a $1 million reward for information leading to a resolution [1].
