When model and sex worker Revelle Balmain vanished, her boss allegedly made a call referring to her having been murdered.
Decades on, the disputed phrasing still intrigues the lead detective for the cold case that gripped Sydney in the late 1990s.
Balmain was 22 and had grand plans to travel in Japan when she disappeared on November 5, 1994.

After Balmain vanished, the pair returned to Europe, leaving a request for help from the Serbian government pending since 2021, as revealed during the inquest.

During the first day of the inquest, which resumed in 2024, a detective voiced lingering questions about Balmain’s mysterious disappearance.

King and Stanojevic are set to provide their testimonies to the coroner later this week.

The initial inquest in 1999 concluded that Balmain was killed by an unidentified person or persons, prompting a referral to unsolved homicide detectives.

A renewed investigation from 2007 to 2009 and a formal review in 2020 failed to uncover any significant new leads.

In 2021, a year after Detective Inspector Bell assumed leadership of the case, authorities announced a $1 million reward for information.

The inquest runs until Thursday.
