A inquest into the murders of two Sydney nurses who disappeared while hitchhiking in Queensland will re-open on Monday, when information will be presented to the coroner 37 years after their bodies were found.
The bound and naked bodies of Lorraine Wilson, 20, and Wendy Evans, 18, were found at Murphys Creek, near Toowoomba in southern Queensland, in 1976. They had head injuries.
AAP reports they disappeared almost two years earlier while hitch-hiking from Brisbane to Goondiwindi. An inquest was previously held in 1985.
The Queensland government last year ordered the inquest be re-opened to allow the coroner to consider new information.
The hearing is scheduled to run for five days in Toowoomba before Coroner Michael Barnes.
