A $1 million reward is being offered to solve the mysterious disappearance of a young couple from Sydney s north shore more than forty years ago.
Stephen Lapthorne was 21 and his girlfriend Michelle Pope was 18 when they were last seen leaving his home on Wyuna Avenue at West Pymble, on August 25, 1978.
They were driving a lime green-coloured 1977 Bedford CF van - with NSW registration plates SL710 - and were believed to be heading to Ms Pope s home at Berowra.
