The death of a German backpacker whose naked body was found within 100 metres of the caravan site she was last seen at six days earlier remains a mystery after a murder charge against her then-boyfriend was withdrawn.
The charges were withdrawn after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions declined to certify them when his matter was mentioned at Lismore Local Court on Wednesday. His barrister previously told the court there was no new evidence linking Moran to the death and the magistrate described the circumstantial case as "not the strongest" when he was granted bail.
