Simone Strobel
Murder suspect living in Perth
Simone Strobel and her then boyfriend, Tobias Suckfuell.
MURDERED backpacker Simone Strobel's former boyfriend, Tobias Suckfuell, is believed to be living in Perth.
Suckfuell's presence in Australia contrasts with his earlier statement that he wouldn't be coming here "any time soon".
A letter to the coroner from the lawyer representing Suckfuell said that he "did not want to attend and assist in these proceedings" - the 2007 inquest into murder of his girlfriend.
The Western Australian sighting of Suckfuell was reported on national television last night, with Lismore police saying it would be investigated.
The Seven Network yesterday showed video footage of Suckfuell allegedly living in a beachside mansion in Perth with a new Australian girlfriend, a 26-year-old ski instructor.
"The investigation into Simone Strobel's murder is still open," Detective Sgt Bernadette Ingram of Lismore police said.
"We will travel wherever the line of inquiry takes us.
"Investigators are keen to bring closure for Simone's family and to identify her killer."
Simone, 25, died in February 2005, after leaving Suckfuell, his sister Katrin and their friend Jens Martin at a Lismore caravan park after an argument with Tobias.
She was reported missing the next day and six days later her decomposed body was found hidden under palm leaves inside the grounds of the nearby Bocce Club.
Although Deputy State Coroner Paul MacMahon named Suckfuell as the most likely suspect, he was not charged because of lack of evidence.
Suckfuell and Katrin refused to return for the inquest even though the coroner offered to pay their travel costs.
However Jens Martin did return, delivering damning testimony against Suckfuell, suggesting he had lied to police and fought bitterly with Simone on the night of her murder.
Media reports yesterday suggested that new DNA technology may unravel the murder mystery by identifying a crucial piece of evidence, believed to be a hair, found near Strobel.
However, Detective Sgt Ingram yesterday could not comment on the DNA evidence.

Time to up the bounty on fugitive murder suspect
BY DAN PROUDMAN CHIEF POLICE REPORTER
10 Sep, 2010 04:00 AM
THE state government is under pressure to increase the bounty for fugitive murder suspect Malcolm Naden, who remains a step ahead of authorities despite being the state's most wanted man.
Opposition police spokesman Mike Gallacher has raised the bounty in Parliament, asking the government whether the $50,000 was enough for someone to give up the suspected double murderer.
Mr Gallacher is expected to raise the issue to police minister Michael Daley during estimates committees next week after Attorney-General John Hatzistergos referred questions on Wednesday.
Naden has been on the run for five years, including the last three with the first bounty on a fugitive since Jimmy Governor in 1900 the man made famous in The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith.
The Newcastle Herald understands senior police had lobbied the government for much more than the $50,000 granted for any information leading to the arrest of Naden before it was announced by then police minister John Watkins in 2007.
"I challenge the government to consider whether they should re-evaluate the $50,000," Mr Gallacher told the Herald.
"Obviously someone knows where this guy is but the money is not attractive enough for them to give him up.
"They need to flush him out, and to do that they need to increase the reward."
Naden, the chief suspect in the disappearance of Lateesha Nolan and the murder of Kristy Scholes in Dubbo in 2005, is believed to be in possession of two .22 calibre rifles stolen during his raids on remote Barrington Tops properties.
His DNA matched the profile from blood at a burglary at Stewarts Brook, on the western edge of the Barringtons, and his fingerprints were found at a property at Mount Mooney, north-west of Gloucester.

Police seek man on run after cousin found dead
By Les Kennedy August 22, 2005
He would leave his sanctuary through the bedroom window, though in the past year he rarely ventured outside. His reading material included the Bible, encyclopedias and books about bush survival.
The stocky, quiet, 31-year-old unemployed shearer and former skinner and boner at Dubbo abattoir also sketched, but police will not reveal the nature of the drawings they found in his room last July 23.
They had broken into the room that day and found the strangled body of his cousin Kristy Scholes, 24, on the floor beside his single bed. She had been missing for two days and the alarm was raised when one of her two small children was found crying outside the home, in Bumblegumbie Road.
His disappearance and the murder of Ms Scholes, who had been living in the home while her neighbouring house was being painted, has also been linked with the disappearance last January of another cousin of Mr Naden, Lateesha Nolan, 24.
Ms Nolan was last seen at 9pm on January 4, when she dropped off two of her four children at the same house. The next night her blue 1996 Ford Falcon station wagon was found in acar park in the town centre, four kilometres away.
Homicide squad detectives yesterday made a statewide appeal for information on Mr Naden's whereabouts.
The head of the investigation, Detective Sergeant Bryne Ruse, said police believed Mr Naden had fled to another town, to Sydney or had taken to living off the land with his knowledge of bush skills.
Sergeant Ruse said police also wanted to speak to Mr Naden about the disappearance of Ms Nolan.
Anyone with information on Ms Nolan's disappearance and the murder of Ms Scholes are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police fear for missing NSW mother
ABC Australia Online
Police in the central-west New South Wales are going statewide in their appeal for help in finding a Dubbo woman who has been missing for more than two weeks.
Lateesha Jane Nolan left her grandmothers house saying she would be right back, but has not been seen since.
The 24-year-old's blue station wagon was found the next day abandoned on the other side of town near the Macquarie River.
Aerial and extensive searches of the river have found no sign of Ms Nolan.
Dubbo Crime Manager Mick Willing says police hold grave concerns for the safety of the mother of four.
"It's completely out of character for her to be away from her kids for any length or period of time," he said
Ms Nolan is described as 165 cm tall with brown hair and was last seen wearing a blue shirt and tracksuit pants.

Charlotte Rose Keen
Plea For Clues To Baby's Murder
THE murder of Charlotte Rose Keen has torn a family apart as the search for her killers intensifies.
Grandparents Bob and Lesley Keen say their son Graeme is close to a breakdown over the brutal killing of his daughter, just three days before her first birthday.
Charlotte was taken off life support on December 17, after a five-day battle with massive injuries that police say were intentionally inflicted.
She was sent to Wodonga and Albury Hospital on December 12, then airlifted to the Royal Children's Hospital where she died.
Mr Keen said his son was suffering greatly and they were desperate to get justice and peace of mind.
"All this is breaking us apart, Graeme's devastated. Charlotte was an only child and she was precious to him."
Graeme and his former partner Renee Jones, 22, split just months before the tragedy and had dual custody of Charlotte. Ms Jones was living with another man, Brett Penrose.
Mr Keen said his son was so distraught he had isolated himself. "He won't even talk to me at the moment," he said. "He's so upset, he's not handling it well at all."
The suspicion about her killers has led police to call for witnesses, but Charlotte's grandparents say they aren't sure what happened that fateful night.
"To coin a phrase, there's no smoking gun, there's no hammer with blood on it," Mr Keen said. "Because it's such an intensive investigation we have to wait for police to do their work.
"If she had've died of a serious illness, it's a different matter because you have time for something like that, but this you can't prepare for."
Lesley Keen said her son was to pick up his daughter on the night of her death, but arranged to let her stay at her mother's Phefley Court home, because of another commitment in Wodonga.
"He's a broken man," Ms Keen said. She described Charlotte as a happy girl just starting to walk and talk.
They have pleaded for public help to give their family some closure in this case.
"If we even suspected for one minute something was wrong, we would've had her out of there in nothing flat," Mr Keen said, "but it came like a bolt out of the blue."
Detective Inspector Steve Francis of the homicide squad yesterday described the injuries sustained by Charlotte as non-accidental.
"The fact she was transferred from the local hospital to the intensive care unit to the Royal Children's hospital indicates the extent of those injuries," he said.
Det-Insp Francis said family members and people known to them had been interviewed.
Police also revealed the 34-year-old de facto has two children to another relationship who visited the home where paramedics attended to the injured Charlotte.
