About 1.00 am on Sunday 1 March 1987, 17-year-old Troy Hugh Forsyth was walking home with three friends along Kent Street in Deakin after attending a birthday party at the Croatia Deakin Soccer Club.
When Troy was about 70m north of Carruthers Street, he crossed the road and was fatally struck by a panel van which was driving in a northerly direction along Kent Street.
The driver did not stop and is yet to be identified.
It is believed the vehicle that struck Troy was a blue/green Holden panel van.
Police never found the panel van or its driver, despite an exhaustive search.
A $500 000 reward is in place for information leading to the apprehension and subsequent conviction of the person(s) responsible for Troy's death and an appropriate indemnity from prosecution will be considered for any accomplice who first give information.
Police are urging anyone with any information, no matter how small, to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can be provided anonymously.
