WA: Police call for anonymous caller to contact them

KALGOORLIE, WA, Dec 21 AAP - A man who called Crimestoppers with information into the
disappearance of a Kalgoorlie woman last year has been urged to contact police again.

Lisa Joanne Govan, 29, disappeared outside the Club Deroes headquarters in Kalgoorlie,
500km east of Perth, in October 1999 and until now police have been stumped by her disappearance.

Last week, West Australian Police Minister Kevin Prince announced a $50,000- reward
for information about Ms Govan, who was last seen outside the club at about 6am on October
8.

Detective Senior Sergeant Kim Gage appealed to the man who left a message with Crimestoppers
to contact him.

Snr Sgt Gage said police had followed up every lead they had been given - including
information provided by a psychic in the United States.

Ms Govan's family had sought the psychic's help in a bid to find their daughter but
the information had not led police anywhere, he said.

Ms Govan, who had just been retrenched from her job at a local assay laboratory, had
been out drinking with her former work colleagues at Safari's nightclub in Hannan Street
for most of the evening before she disappeared.

She was reported missing by her de facto husband who returned to an empty home after
finishing a night shift.
