More than 31 years after model Revelle Balmain disappeared, a deputy state coroner has ruled she is dead. Revelle Balmain, aged 22, vanished on November 5, 1994, after her final escort shift in Sydney. Her bosses at the escort agency, Jane King and Zoran Stenojevic, have been identified as persons of interest by the coroner.
Coroner Joan Baptie stated that King and Stenojevic's testimonies contained numerous inconsistencies, suggesting they were either involved or aware of who was responsible for Balmain's disappearance. However, insufficient evidence prevents criminal prosecution referrals. Balmain was last known to be with client Gavin Samers in Kingsford before being dropped at a hotel.
Days after her disappearance, Balmain's personal items, including her diary and bank card, were discovered strewn across streets in Kingsford. Previous inquests and investigations since 1994 have failed to yield conclusive evidence. In 2021, authorities offered a $1 million reward for information regarding her vanishing.
