Massive reward announced over toddler's 2005 death
The New South Wales Government increased the reward from $100,000 to $500,000 to encourage community tips leading to an arrest in the 2005 death of toddler Jordan Thompson.
- NSW Police announced a $500,000 reward for information on Jordan William Thompson's death on March 19, 2005, aiming to prompt an arrest and conviction.
- At a Singleton house, police say Jordan William Thompson, 21 months old, was found face down in a bathtub after being left in his mother's then-partner's care, with a post-mortem detecting a double adult dose of Endep, a prescribed antidepressant.
- Two juries in trials of Cecil Kennedy, then-boyfriend, failed to reach unanimous verdicts, and despite a $100,000 reward offered years ago, no-one has been convicted.
- Bernice Swales, Jordan's mother, welcomed the reward and said, `I would firstly like to thank the NSW government in granting this reward to assist the police who are investigating the death of my son, Jordan Thompson.` Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
- With investigators hopeful the reward will prompt new leads, Quigg said, `There is no doubt that the infant was deliberately administered this prescription drug`.
