Lois Martha Roberts (c. 1960 – c. 31 July 1998) was an Australian murder victim, whose death near Nimbin, New South Wales in 1998 remains unsolved.
[2] Brought up and educated in the Lismore region in northern New South Wales, Roberts trained as a hairdresser until, at age 20, she was seriously injured in a car accident, sustaining permanent brain damage.
[4][5] It would appear that she was abducted while hitch-hiking between Nimbin and Lismore and then tortured and abused before being killed.
The senior stipendiary magistrate of the Lismore Court Circuit, Jeff Linden, sitting as a coroner returned an open finding after a two-week hearing.
[2][7] Indigenous filmmaker Ivan Sen made a documentary film about the murder and its impact on the family, A Sister's Love.
