Jane Furlong was 17 when she went missing from Auckland's Karangahape Rd in May 1993.

Her partner Dani Norsworthy reported her missing two days after she was last seen.

She was a new mum and a part time sex worker and while she'd had a troubled and turbulent life, was doing her best to carve out a future for herself. 

For almost two decades - despite extensive police investigations - there was no sign of Jane, no clues to what happened to her or who was responsible. 

In remains were finally discovered in 2012, buried in the dunes at Sunset Beach, Port Waikato.

The next year police announced a $50,000 reward for anyone who provided information or evidence that would lead to the conviction of Furlong's killer.

Despite the cash offer, and a major police investigation spanning more than 26 years - dubbed Operation Darlia - an arrest is yet to be made.

To date, police have not arrested anyone in connection with Jane's disappearance or death and her case remains one of the most enduring mysteries in New Zealand.
