Missing person: Krystal Fraser

First name: Krystal

Last name: Fraser

Date of disappearance: 20 June 2009

Location: Pyramid Hill, Victoria

Circumstances:

Krystal, who was heavily pregnant and only days away from giving birth at the time of her disappearance, was last seen on 20 June 2009 in Pyramid Hill, a small country town in north central Victoria.

Detectives have established that Krystal travelled on a V/Line train from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill on the day of her disappearance, getting off the train at Pyramid Hill Railway Station about 8.40pm.

Investigations have also revealed Krystal was last seen alive leaving an address in Albert Street, Pyramid Hill about 9.30pm after visiting an acquaintance.

On the night of her disappearance, Krystal received a 40 second phone call on her mobile phone which was from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville Post Office in Findlay Avenue at 11.59pm, on 20 June, 2009.

Police are confident they know who made this call to Krystal, however they are continuing to appeal for anyone with information or who witnessed someone at the phone box on the night to come forward.

Krystal’s phone last showed activity on a Leitchville phone tower at 2.49am, nearly three hours after she received the call from the phone box, indicating that the phone was in the Leitchville or surrounding area.

Leitchville is 27km from Pyramid Hill and about 10 minutes from the towns of Gunbower and Cohuna.

The proximity to these towns is important – Krystal discharged herself from hospital against medical advice on the night of her disappearance saying she was attending a “party at Cohuna”.

Investigators have made extensive inquiries in the local area that indicate that neither this or any party took place in Cohuna on that night that was attended by Krystal.

Detectives are also aware that Krystal was associated with persons from both the Cohuna and Gunbower areas.

Krystal was last seen wearing an orange top, black track suit pants and a camouflaged-patterned baseball cap. Her mobile phone has never been located.

Detectives believe Krystal was murdered and despite extensive investigations, are still searching for answers.

In 2019, a $1M reward for information about Krystal’s disappearance was announced and this reward remains on offer.

This reward of up to $1 million will be paid at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner of Police, for information leading to the apprehension and subsequent conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Krystal.

The Director of Public Prosecutions may also consider, according to established guidelines, the granting of indemnification from prosecution to any person who provides information as to the identity of the principal offender or offenders in this matter.
