$100k reward to solve toddler abduction

Posted July 31, 2008 09:13:00

A $100,000 reward has been posted in the hope of solving the abduction of Sydney toddler Rahma El-Dennaoui.

The 19-month-old was taken from her Lurnea home early on November 10, 2005.

Police still do not know who took her, despite numerous inquiries.

The NSW Government says the reward is also being publicised through an internationally syndicated television crime program, which could lead to fresh information from Lebanon.

Acting Police Minister Kristina Keneally hopes the new push will solve the abduction.

"Rahma's family have been devastated by this tragedy and someone - either in Australia or possibly in Lebanon where the El-Dennaoui family is from - must know who kidnapped her," she said.

"The family deserve answers but the police need the public's help to locate Rahma and solve this mystery."
