Shopping at the local Spencer Park IGA in Albany.
Riding a bike through a carpark of a local supermarket on Hardie Road.
Walking along Mokare Road on the way home to her Burville Street unit from the shops.
These are the final everyday moments captured on CCTV of mother and son Erica Coyne and Lloyd Mitchell before they were killed in a suspected assault in their Spencer Park home in Albany earlier this year.
Erica, 69, was found dead inside her Burville Street unit in Spencer Park around 3pm on February 8.
Lloyd, 50, was found critically injured inside the same unit, and died weeks later.
Several appeals to the public by investigators have so far failed to provide any clues to what happened to the pair.
The murder weapon is also yet to be found.
Now the state government is offering a $1 million reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for their deaths.
Mary Eades, the daughter of Erica and Lloyd’s sister, urged members of the public to come forward with the slightest piece of information.
“Please come forward, if you know anything, anything, just even the smallest thing,” she said.
“It might seem insignificant to you, but to the police it may be something that could give us answers.
“That’s all we want. We want answers.
“It’s not going to bring my mum and my brother back, but people need to be held accountable. They need to be held accountable for this.”
WA Police Minister Reece Whitby said the million-dollar award was one of the biggest in the state’s history for an ongoing case.
“This is a live current murder investigation,” Whitby said.
“A million dollars is on the table because someone knows something that could lead to solving this crime.
Now is the time to come forward. Now is the time to tell us what you know.”
Whitby said WA Police have undertaken extensive inquiries that are ongoing and continuing.
“They’ve followed every available lead, and they’ve been in the media, but this case, unfortunately, still remains unsolved at this moment,” he said.
“We believe someone somewhere knows something critical to solving this crime.
“Now, it might seem like a small detail, but that piece of information could be exactly what investigators need to charge someone to bring them to justice and to achieve the conviction.”
WA Police Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen Cleal said the homicide squad had poured significant resources into the investigation.
“We have worked around the clock tirelessly,” he said.
“To say we’re leaving no stone unturned is an absolute understatement, and we continue to do so.
“A million dollars is life-changing for anyone, and I’d like to thank the state government for supporting the homicide squad and the Albany Police with this, with our incentive and our intent to provide closure to the family who deserve it.”
Mary added that the family had received overwhelming support from the community.
“Thank you for all the support – just for wrapping around us and guiding us through this.
“It’s justice for Mum and for my brother. I’m not a person who expresses with words, but we would like answers,” she said.
