Eloise was eight years old when she went missing from the bedroom of her Beaumaris family home during the night of 12 January, 1976.
She was the eldest daughter of Lindsey and Patsy Worledge, and sister to then six-year-old Anna and four-year-old Blake.
She went to Beaumaris Primary School, and was due to start grade four.
On the night of the January 12, Eloise went to bed in her Scott Street home like any other night, but when the family woke the next morning, she was missing.
She has never been seen or heard from since.
Despite a significant investigation over the past four decades, Eloise has not been located.
A $10,000 reward for information was announced in 1976.
The investigation by the Missing Persons Squad into her disappearance remains open.
Police urge anyone with information about Maria’s death to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online.
