13/12/00

The State Government today offered a $50,000 reward to anyone with information regarding the disappearance of Lisa Joanne Govan.
Ms Govan was last seen at a social gathering at the Club Deroes Headquarters in Boulder in the company of a group of associates and club members. She remained after her associates left and was reported as a missing person later that afternoon.
A police investigation established the last confirmed sighting of Ms Govan was at about 7.30am on October 8, 1999, when she was seen re-entering the compound surrounding the Club Deroes Headquarters.
Despite extensive inquiries and intense media coverage there have been no further sightings.
Police Minister Kevin Prince said today the $50,000 reward would be paid by the Government for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Ms Govan's disappearance.

A free pardon will be extended to any person who is not directly responsible for her disappearance and who gives sufficient information or evidence that leads to her present whereabouts, or the apprehension of those responsible for her disappearance.
"The allocation of the reward will be at the sole discretion of the Commissioner of Police," Mr Prince said.
"The co-operation and assistance of all members of the public is urgently sought in this matter."
Information can be given to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, the Officer in Charge of the Kalgoorlie Detectives Office on (08) 9021 9703, or to any police station.
