Coroner Doug Dick delivered his findings from the inquest into Shane Gregory Spiller's death on August 17, 2010.

"I find that Shane Gregory Spiller is deceased and that he probably died on or about 20th August, 2002," Coroner Dick said.

"As to the place, manner and cause of his death the evidence adduced does not enable me to say."

Known as Stick, Shane Spiller was last seen in Wyndham on September 9, 2002.

That morning, Shane walked to the store from his two-bedroom home around the corner to pick up his mail.

A few days later, concerned neighbours entered his house and found his boots in the middle of the living room, dinner set for two on the table, his wallet, and his medications untouched. His motorcycle was locked in his shed.

NOTE: Shane Spiller is not mentioned on the AFP's website.

The 53-year-old mother of three and grandmother of five vanished just before Christmas 2008 from Bombala.

She has not been seen or heard from since, and her bank account has not been accessed.

Ms Pajuczoks green Toyota Tarago van was found abandoned by the side of the Monaro Hwy, 10km south of Bombala.

An inquest into her disappearance in 2014 found there was insufficient evidence to recommend that Rockton man James Jim Hawes, who was the last person known to have had contact with her, be charged with her death.

Magistrate Mark Douglass, who presided over hearings of the NSW Coroner's Court in Bombala, found that Ms Pajuczok was deceased and her death was suspicious. He found she died on or about December 23 or 24, 2008, in the vicinity of Rockton.

An inquest into her disappearance held in July 2018 in Bega found that she was deceased, with Deputy State Coroner Magistrate Teresa O'Sullivan saying the most compelling evidence is perhaps that of an absence of evidence rather than anything else.
