1 Million Reward Offered for Clues in Harmony Bryant's 2003 Death

A $1 million reward has been announced to help solve the 2003 death of Harmony Bryant, a 26‑year‑old woman found with severe burns and injuries near Port Macquarie, NSW.

On September 19, 2003, Harmony Bryant, 26, died after severe burns and fractures. Her body was found in a wooded area near Bonny Hills, south of Port Macquarie, New South Wales, with a Hyundai Excel burning 200 meters from the main road and the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Bryant suffered burns covering 60 percent of her body, a broken pelvis, and multiple fractures to her arm and wrist.

She was barely alive when discovered and received medical care for over a month before succumbing to her injuries. The case remains unsolved and no charges have been filed today. Police report suggests Bryant may have fallen from a cliff near the site before being assisted back to her car by one or more unidentified individuals.

Detectives note she booked accommodation for two people at Mid Pacific Caravan Park the day before she was found critically injured in the area. The case was first handled by Mid North Coast detectives and later referred to the Homicide Squad's Strike Force Behl in 2007. A 2011 coronial inquest concluded Bryant died from burns sustained at Bonny Hills caused by a person or persons unknown, with no charges filed to date.

Yasmin Catley announced the $1 million reward to encourage anyone with long‑held information to come forward.
