On March 30, 2002, Niamh Maye, an 18-year-old woman, disappeared in New South Wales, Australia. She was last seen near Jingellic[1][2] and was planning to catch a bus from Batlow to the train station at Cootamundra, but never made the trip.[3]

Originally from Armidale, Maye was on a gap year before starting university. On February 16, 2002, around 6 weeks before her disappearance, Maye and her two friends traveled to Batlow for a fruit-picking working holiday.

Disappearance

On March 29, 2002, Maye went camping to Jingellic. She was accompanied by another fruit picker, Jason Nicklason, who traveled in a distinctive black hearse. They left Jingellic together on March 30. Maye was not seen again after that date, with Nicklason being the last person to see Maye alive.[4]

Death of Jason Nicklason

In September 2002, six months after the disappearance of Maye, Jason Nicklason was arrested in Brisbane for the rape of a 19-year-old woman. While in police custody outside Brisbane police headquarters, Nicklason jumped from a third storey car park and died as a result.[5][6]
